Important Notice regarding the 2021/2022 Local Grant Program

Unfortunately the pandemic has had a very negative impact on Civic Lubbock’s revenues that fund this grant program. As a result, there is no funding available for the 2021/2022 Local Grant Program and applications will not be accepted at this time.

It is the hope that once in-person events return to a level that generates enough revenue to fund the Local Grant Program, it can be re-instated.
