T-Mobile Hometown Grants Program for Small and Rural Communities

Deadlines: Quarterly; the last day of each quarter 

T-Mobile Hometown Grants is a $25 million, five-year initiative to support the people and organizations who help small towns across America thrive and grow. Hometown Grants are given every quarter to up to 25 small towns with populations of less than 50,000. Apply for funding to support a community project of your choice, like revitalizing or repurposing a historic library, creating a downtown asset or destination, technology projects for the public library, or improving a space where friends and neighbors gather. Projects that add to a sense of place or could lead to further investment are of particular interest. Grants are up to $50k per town.

Elected leaders, town managers and employees, and nonprofit leaders are eligible to submit applications. The full proposal should be three-five pages, and include a "shovel-ready” plan, and up to 5 letters of support.

Applications open on a quarterly basis with the following schedule:
  • Spring: Applications open January – March
  • Summer: Applications open April – June
  • Fall: Applications open July – September
  • Winter: Applications open October – December
