Community Development Partnership Program (CDPP) Grants

What is CDPP?

LCRA awards grants of up to $50,000 to worthy community projects in the LCRA wholesale power, water and transmission service territories through the Community Development Partnership Program, or CDPP.

The CDPP was established in 1996 to provide funds to rural, economically challenged communities that have difficulty fundraising for their needed projects.

CDPP grants support:

• economic diversification in local communities;
• contribute to the health, safety and development of a community; or
• improve the quality or quantity of services essential for the development of viable communities and economic growth.
  

CDPP grants are awarded twice a year for capital projects for volunteer fire departments, emergency responders, cities and counties, schools, libraries, civic groups, museums and other tax-exempt nonprofit organizations. The projects must benefit or be available to an entire community and must improve the value of a capital asset by building, renovating or purchasing equipment.

Notes:

• The minimum project cost/funding request allowed is $1,000.
• Project values of $5,000 or less do not require a match.
• The maximum funding request (award) for a project is $50,000.
