Why ACF?

Because we are simple, flexible, evolving, efficient and secure.

With over 25 years of experience, assets of more than $75 million, and deep roots in our community, we are the heart of philanthropy in Central Texas. We know local issues, we know local leaders, and we know how to bring different segments of our community together to better our community.

  • SIMPLE - It takes less than an hour to create a fund in the Austin Community Foundation, and working with us after the fund is created could not be simpler. In addition, as a public charity the Foundation offers the highest level of tax benefit available to donors.
  • FLEXIBLE - There is virtually no limit to the type of charity that can be accomplished through the Foundation. We make it easy for donors to support good works of their choice.
  • EVOLVING - The Foundation is dedicated to supporting the efforts that make a difference in our community today and in the future. We are here for the long haul.
  • EFFICIENT - A fund with the Austin Community Foundation pays no tax on investment income, and is covered under the Foundation's Informational Tax Return (Form 990). A single audit covers all of our funds.
  • SECURE - The Board of Governors of the Austin Community Foundation is comprised of Austin's civic, community and business leaders. The board provides stewardship for all contributed funds.

The Austin Community Foundation is dedicated to working closely with our donors to ensure that their philanthropic goals are met. Our collaboration includes excellent service, timely grants, diligent research and remarkable philanthropic opportunities. Having a fund with us is like having your own foundation without the headaches.
