New Application Period for the T-Mobile Hometown Grant Program Opens

The T-Mobile Hometown Grant program is currently open for applications until Monday, September 30 at 11:59 pm CT.

This program is intended for towns with populations of 50,000 or fewer and provides grants of up to $50,000. The goal is to support the growth and prosperity of small towns and rural communities. This presents an exciting opportunity to use the grant to develop outdoor musical spaces that can enhance public areas with the magic of music.

Since its inception in 2021, the program has distributed over $13 million to more than 300 communities across 47 states. The funds have supported a wide range of projects, including enhancing public tech infrastructure, creating new recreational trails, restoring historic landmarks, and adding outdoor musical spaces.

Don't miss out on this chance to bring a lasting, positive impact to your hometown with the help of the T-Mobile Hometown Grant program!
