Austin. People who live here feel passionately about the city.

Since the village of Waterloo became the City of Austin in 1839, it has been the beneficiary of many of its citizens' philanthropy, which grew out of the love they felt for the community.

Zilker Park, Barton Springs and Mt. Bonnell are a few of the gifts given for the benefit of Austin. These gifts represent a spirit of philanthropy from people who loved Austin and wanted to give back to a special community.

Philanthropy is the story of Austin. Without it, Austin just wouldn't be the same.

That spirit of philanthropy is embodied today in the Austin Community Foundation. The Austin Community Foundation has touched literally every part of Austin. Whether it's arts, education, healthcare, human services or the environment, the Austin Community Foundation works to keep Austin a very special place to live -- now and in the future.

For those people who love Austin, whether you were born here or found success here, the Austin Community Foundation provides a way for you to keep Austin, well...Austin!

The Austin Community Foundation is proud of its history of giving, and we're proud to be part of Austin's history of philanthropy.

Together, we can shape our city for future generations. Together, we can help you build your own history of philanthropy. Let's meet the needs and aspirations of Austin today and tomorrow.

The Austin Community Foundation.
We're here For Good, For Ever.
