Our Mission

Resource Center

Houses Non-profits

To help boost local philanthropy, the I Live Here, I Give Here campaign educates Central Texans about the many ways non-profits provide solutions to critical community issues. Show how "you give here" with a donation to Austin Groups for the Elderly.
