The City of Austin Cultural Arts Division of the Economic Development Department awarded more than $3.9 million in funds awarded to 36 local arts non-profit organizations through the Thrive Grant. These grant awards, ranging from $85,000 - $150,000, provide focused investment to sustain and grow arts organizations that are deeply rooted in and reflective of Austin’s diverse cultures.


Torch Literary Arts is proud to be one of the inaugural recipients of the 2023-2024 Thrive Grant. This vital multi-year funding will support Torch's operational and programmatic needs to grow and sustain the organization.
