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.
Projects that add to a sense of place or could lead to further investment are of particular interest. They look forward to learning more about your town and your project.
