Listed means the date comes from a public Texas grant list (the Texas Rural Funders Grants Hub or the Texas Grant Resource Center at UT Austin) and we have not yet confirmed it on the funder's site, so check before you plan around it. Funders change dates without notice. Always read the funder's guidelines before you apply.
