Apply: T‑Mobile Hometown Grant Program

Main Street America and Smart Growth America have partnered with T‑Mobile to help build stronger, more prosperous small towns and rural communities. With T‑Mobile’s Hometown Grant program, they’re investing big in small towns by awarding up to 100 towns a year with project funding — up to $50,000 each. Since the program’s start, T‑Mobile has given more than $16 million dollars to kickstart 375 community development projects across 48 states, with projects like upgrading tech at local libraries, building new hiking trails and revitalizing historic buildings.

T‑Mobile is focusing on revitalizing community spaces in towns with 50,000 people or less, and Main Street programs are encouraged to apply. Submit a proposal for a town project of your choice, and if selected, use the funds to get started. For example, you could implement tech upgrades at your library, refresh a local park, or break ground on a new place where neighbors can connect.
