Congratulations to our September Grant ReWork Project . The folks at ReWork Project provide a dignified employment opportunity with social support services for adults in our community who desire to work but are prevented by housing instability, mental illness and disability. They are a workshop that offers employment and training by producing stuff you use all the time, like Jenga sets and co****le sets, with 100% of the proceeds going back to the ReWorkers.

They're currently moving into a new location and need, well needed, a new workshop sink. We got you guys! Thank you so much for all the work you do supporting some of our most vulnerable neighbors and thanks for making !

Opportunity. Hope. Dignity. Community. For those struggling with homelessness, it’s not what we build that matters most. It’s what we help create.

Congratulations to our July Grant Winner: Open Road for All! ORA is looking to solve some BIG problems in Austin by helping kids who have aged out of foster care take driver's ed lessons and acquire driver's licenses. Not only does Open Road For All help someone go through the process, but they include driver's training to help ensure everyone they help get on the road DOES SO SAFELY!

If you've ever tried to get a driver's license in Texas, or help someone else do so, you realize that the hoops you have to jump through just to get the damn thing require time, money, effort, study, practice, and without family to help, it can be quite daunting. And if you've ever driven in Austin, you know everyone could probably stand to brush up on their Driver's Ed. And if you've ever needed to be able to drive, you know what a valuable skill it is.

Thank you Open Road for All for helping keep Austinites independent and safe and for keeping Austin Awesome!

Congratulations to our July Grant Winners Ladies Let's Talk; an organization that teaches basic English literacy skills to Afghan women who recently immigrated to the Austin Area after the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Ladies Let's Talk doesn't just impart necessary language skills for functioning in America, but also gives space to build community and relationships among women in a unique and difficult position. What a great way to celebrate a new beginning in America!! Thank you, Ladies, for helping us Keep Austin Awesome!
