TG is pleased to announce that the Public Benefit Grant Program is now accepting Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) for projects to be funded in 2011-12. Application guidelines and materials are available online at www.tgslc.org/publicbenefit/. The LOI template must be submitted on or before Tuesday, February 1, to be considered. TG will send an e-mail within 24 hours, confirming receipt of each LOI.
As has been the case since its inception, the Public Benefit Grant Program is designed to support efforts by nonprofit educational institutions and organizations that aim to improve postsecondary access and completion. TG intends that the primary beneficiaries of these efforts, either directly or indirectly, be students who are from low- to moderate-income families.
For 2011-12, however, there are two significant changes:
1) This year, TG will consider proposals for direct service projects of up to three years. The anticipated grant range for these projects is between $75,000 and $350,000. Educational research and organizational capacity building projects remain limited to one year.
2) Within the direct service category, two-thirds of the awards will be made to organizations serving Texas students with the remaining one-third of awards made to organizations serving students outside of Texas. Awards made in the educational research and organizational capacity building categories are not subject to this geographic distribution.
The competitive grant program is open to nonprofit organizations and Title IV-eligible, nonprofit or state-supported postsecondary institutions. Other eligible entities are listed in the FAQ section at www.tgslc.org/publicbenefit/.
To learn more about the program, TG encourages prospective grantees to participate in the information session being offered online on Tuesday, January 11 at 11 a.m. (Central), or in person in El Paso on January 19 or in Houston on January 24. This session will include an overview of TG and the Public Benefit Program, explanation of the grant guidelines, and details about the changes to the application and review process. There is no cost to attend, and the recording of the online session will be posted after the event.
Early registration for the information sessions is strongly encouraged.
Please visit www.tgslc.org/publicbenefit/ for more information. If you have any questions, please contact TG's director of public benefit grants at kristin.boyer@tgslc.org or by calling (512) 219-4518.
Partnerships that involve community-based organizations are encouraged in proposed grant projects. If you have partnerships with nonprofit organizations or know of others who may benefit from attending TG's information forum, please forward this message on to anyone who may have an interest in this competitive grant program.
TG represents that there is no correlation or connection between its
selection of recipients for grant awards and an institution's or
