Council approves $62,000 in community grants, lists allocations by organization
Summary
Council approved resolution 2025‑3227 to award roughly $62,000 in grant funds to 20 local nonprofit organizations; each award and dollar amount was read into the record and included in the resolution caption.
The Highland Village City Council approved awarding fiscal year 2025–26 grant funds to 20 community nonprofit organizations, totaling approximately $62,000.
Councilmember Robert Feaster moved the resolution listing each recipient and the dollar amount that will be included in the formal caption. The resolution lists awards including $3,484 each to a number of recipients (Christian community action, Denton County Friends of the Family Inc., Denton County MHMR Center, Enabling Movement Foundation, Heart of the City, The Salvation Army, Special abilities of North Texas, Communities and Schools of North Texas, Journey to Dream, Petey Place, Louisville Education Foundation, Studio B Performing Arts, Love Thy Neighbor), $3,000 to CASA of Denton County, $2,523 to Meals on Wheels of Denton County, $2,500 each to the Chisholm Trail RSVP and Friends of the Flower Mound Public Library, $1,700 to Love Packs, and $1,000 to MLK of North Texas among others; the motion carried 7–0.
Staff explained that the awards were calculated by dividing the total pool across applicants, adjusting so that organizations that requested less than the per‑applicant average received their requested amount and remaining funds were redistributed evenly. The formal motion and vote incorporated the list of organizations and amounts into the resolution caption, as the council’s rules require.
Next step: the resolution will be executed and staff will finalize contracts with each nonprofit to distribute award funds.
