In Case You Missed It

Summer School Webinar Series
This July, join us for a three-part webinar series revisiting some of the most popular sessions from the 2023 Main Street Now Conference. Practitioners from across the network will share their expertise and provide practical information on a range of perennial Main Street issues.
Please note: Registration is required to attend the live webinar presentation. All webinars will be recorded and made available for on-demand replay in the Resource Center, a member benefit of Main Street America.

T-Mobile Hometown Grants
Apply for a T-Mobile Hometown Grant! Grantees will receive up to $50K to fund projects to build, rebuild, or refresh community spaces that help foster local connections in your community. Just a year and a half into the $25 million, five-year initiative, T-Mobile has given more than $5.5 million dollars to projects across 37 states. Submissions close on September 30, 2023. Learn more and apply here ><https://www.t-mobile.com/brand/hometown-grants>

Meet the 2023 Backing Small Businesses Grant Recipients
In June, Main Street America announced the 2023 recipients for the Backing Small Businesses grant program<https://www.mainstreet.org/howwecanhelp/inclusivebacking>, presented by American Express, to provide financial support to small business owners to address critical needs and make a positive impact in their local communities. Grants of $5,000 have been awarded to 350 U.S. small business owners.

Engaging with Science on Main Street
Science can bring communities together. Whether you're observing the stars, experimenting with physics, or watching life bloom, bringing science into your Main Street programming can create unique experiences that build curiosity, discovery, and wonder among visitors and residents. Learn how three communities-Sweetwater, Tennessee; Hendersonville, North Carolina; and Los Alamos, New Mexico-have incorporated science into their work. Also, meet the Science Festival Alliance, which can help you bring the next great science event to your community.

Main Street at the Capitol
Hill Days and Capitol Days are powerful tools to introduce legislators to the Main Street Movement and advocate for policies that can help us achieve our goals. Main Street America staff, Coordinating Programs, and Local Programs have been busy speaking to legislators across the nation to spread awareness and advance our collective mission. Kelly Humrichouser, Director of Government Relations, shared the results of Main Street's first Hill Day in Washington, D.C., as well as Capitol Days in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Washington. Read here ><https://www.mainstreet.org/blogs/national-main-street-center/2023/06/20/main-spotlight-main-street-at-the-capitol?mc_cid=f3e7bedc7f&mc_eid=3311a8ecb5>

Beyond Pride - Creating an Inclusive Main Street Year-Round
The Main Street Movement is a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community. Main Streets are for everyone, and we strive to make our districts welcoming and safe. While it is important to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community in June, our support should also be extended year-round. We spoke to four executive directors and a Coordinator about how their programs celebrate during Pride Month and beyond. Read about the ways that they support the LGBTQ+ community and why it is important for Main Street programs to advocate for change.
