T-Mobile Hometown Grant

May 19, 2021 by Kailey

In a unique partnership focused on bringing vital connections to rural America, Smart Growth America is helping T-Mobile give one small community a prize package worth $3 million as well as millions in smaller grants for hundreds of other rural and small-town communities to reinvest in their downtowns, improve their quality of life, become more resilient, and improve their connections.

With a track record of providing scores of smaller towns a roadmap for achieving economic vibrancy over the years, Smart Growth Amerca will be helping the winner of the $3 million Hometown Tech over develop and implement a plan to enrich the town’s development – such as a place-based economic development plan, the restoration of a neglected downtown square, infrastructure improvements in a historic neighborhood, or investments in a community center.

Anyone can enter the contest at T-MobileHometownTechover.com before it closes on Friday, May 7, 2021. Just upload a photo or video of your town and tell T-Mobile what makes it special.

In addition to the big prize, T-Mobile will also be giving away $25 million to small communities over the next five years through hundreds of smaller Hometown Grants for all types of catalytic projects. If you are a local leader of almost any kind, nominate your town for a Hometown Grant here. The current round of applications is open from April to June, with winning towns announced in July.

Please let us know if you have any questions!
