Our local nonprofit community is helping address these, and other, growing and glaring needs – but they can’t do it alone. At present, Austin ranks 48th out of the 50 largest U.S. cities in per capita giving.

We are a caring Central Texas community, so why do we fall so far short in our philanthropy? Austinites overwhelmingly say that if they better understood the issues, they would give more.

So I LIVE HERE, I GIVE HERE is Central Texas’ new campaign to showcase, and secure funding for, our local community’s needs. We are here to help you find your passion, and GIVE!
