2011 FuturoFund Grants Semifinalists

FuturoFund Austin is proud to announce its 2011 Grant Semi-finalists! Our 12-member Grants Committee scored and deliberated upon the merits of each grant application received, and the outstanding organizations below rose to the top of the list.

The Grants Committee will now conduct site visits with each semi-finalist to learn more about their work in our community and ultimately select our Grant Finalists from among this group. Our entire FuturoFund membership will then hear from each finalist organization and vote on which shall receive a FuturoFund grant at our annual FuturoFiesta event in December.

FuturoFund thanks all the wonderful organizations who applied for our grants in 2011. Please stay tuned for more information about our Grant feedback session in January.
