Texas' food and beverage businesses could get a significant financial boost from the Texas Food & Wine Alliance (TFWA) — in fact, it's the prestigious organization's largest-ever distribution. However, prospective recipients of the 2025 Culinary Grant Program , offering a combined $175,000, will have to apply first. Applications will open Tuesday, August 19, and close September 20.
People across the state are eligible to apply: that includes "chefs, farmers, artisan producers, distillers, nonprofits, and culinary businesses whose work demonstrates both innovation and community impact," according to a press release. Both restaurants and individuals can receive funding, and there is no limitation on where in Texas they need to be located. Some funds are already earmarked for San Antonio
