These grants represent the evolution of the Team City marketing grant. Communities that are participating in the Team City program and have a current community profile are eligible for these funds. In some cases, in kind services are allowed for a portion of the total match. The improvements financed by these grants must be critical to the creation of new permanent jobs, and the improvements must have an identifiable connection to the success of the project. These grants focus on developing human capital and resourcefulness.
Projects require one-third matching dollars from the applicant.
Applications Groups wishing to participate in Entergy Texas' Team City Cooperative Grant Program must submit an application form. On this form, the project is named, described, and the expected results are stated. The applicant should forecast the time frame for completing the project and document the source of matching funds. The applicant should also include a strategy for making sure your community receives media coverage when the project is complete. For example, this could include a plan to submit a press release to the local newspaper or plans to draft a story for Entergy's economic development newspaper.
