<b>T-Mobile Hometown Grants</b>. The application for the next round of T-Mobile grants are due on March 31. 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. The T-Mobile Hometown Grants program will help fund projects to build, rebuild, or refresh community spaces that help foster local connections in your town. For example,
this might include the town square pavilion, a historic building, an outdoor park, a ball field, or a library-- every town has places where friends and neighbors connect. For info and to apply:
