Support GCCRD
Your contribution helps fund public information requests, community outreach, educational materials, professional guidance, and efforts to keep Grimes County residents informed.
GCCRD is a Texas nonprofit corporation. We have submitted the required IRS Form 8976, Notice of Intent to Operate Under Section 501(c)(4), and are operating as a civic/social welfare organization. Donations to GCCRD are not tax deductible as charitable contributions. We have not filed the optional IRS Form 1024-A application for a formal determination letter at this time. We chose the 501(c)(4) structure because it allows greater flexibility for civic advocacy and potential political action in the future, although our current focus remains transparency, public records, education, and community awareness.


Protecting Grimes County will take an informed and engaged community.
Whether you have a little time or a lot, your involvement matters.
You can help by sharing accurate information with neighbors, friends, local organizations, and fellow residents.
You can attend public meetings, bring others with you, and help show our county leaders that the people of Grimes County are paying attention.
You can sign and share the petition, send us tips, documents, screenshots, photos, or links related to proposed projects, and help us identify activity in different parts of the county.
If you have experience in areas such as water, power, land use, fire safety, agriculture, environmental issues, real estate, engineering, legal research, media, or community outreach, your knowledge could be especially valuable.
If you are part of a neighborhood group, church, civic club, business network, or community organization, we would also welcome opportunities to connect and share information.
You do not have to speak at a meeting to make a difference. Simply staying informed, sharing updates, helping others understand what is happening, and showing up when it matters are all important ways to support this effort.
Together, we can help ensure that the citizens of Grimes County stay informed, engaged, and prepared to stand up for responsible development, transparency, and protection of our rural way of life.
Preserve the Land. Protect Our Community.

Community meetings are one of the best ways to stay informed, ask questions, meet your neighbors, and stay connected as things continue to unfold across Grimes County.
New information is surfacing quickly, and every meeting is different. We are working to upload presentations to our YouTube channel, but attending in person is always best when possible.
There is power in numbers, and showing up matters.
Commissioner’s Court meetings are especially important.
Our elected officials need to see that citizens care deeply about what is happening in our county — and that we are paying attention, getting involved, and showing up.
Together, we are building an informed, connected, and engaged community.
The more citizens who stay involved, the stronger our voice will be as we work to
Preserve the Land & Protect our Community.
Stay informed and get involved!
