• HopeAustin
• Deaf Advocates of Central Texas

When we give together, we can create a greater impact than any one of us could alone.

Most people don’t actually know what a community foundation does, so we’re making it simple.

At Central Texas Community Foundation, we connect people who want to give with causes that change lives across Central Texas.

We help donors turn generosity into real impact, support nonprofits doing essential work in our communities, and bring people together through programs that make philanthropy more accessible and meaningful.

In short, we help turn giving into lasting community impact.

This carousel breaks down exactly how it works, why it matters, and how you can be part of it.

There’s still time to become a Future Fund member!!!

Join by June 1 to participate in the 2025–2026 Future Fund cycle, where members come together on June 5 to vote on how funding is distributed among four selected nonprofits: Reset Mentoring, A Gift of Time, HopeAustin, and Deaf Advocates of Central Texas.

We’re still working toward our membership goal, and each new member helps grow the total funding available for these organizations.

As part of the June 5 experience, members and their families will have the opportunity to participate in a family-friendly service project supporting the four selected nonprofits — a chance to give back through their time while learning more about each organization and the work they do in our community.

As a bonus, the first 100 Future Fund members will receive 4 FREE Kalahari waterpark tickets to enjoy on June 5 (only). More details coming soon.

Follow along and help shape how local funding is shared in our community!

Rural communities don’t need to be saved; they need to be supported, trusted, and invested in.

That’s what the Rural Impact Investment Fund (RIIF) is building across Central Texas.

Last week, community leaders, organizers, nonprofits, and changemakers gathered in Elgin for the RIIF Grant Partner Celebration in collaboration with HEAL Alliance — creating space for connection, reflection, and conversations around strengthening rural communities across Central Texas.

Through partnership, collaboration, and trust-based philanthropy, the Rural Impact Investment Fund (RIIF) supports organizations already creating meaningful change across Bastrop County, Caldwell County, Hays County, Williamson County, and beyond.

At Central Texas Community Foundation, we believe real impact happens when communities lead, and philanthropy listens. RIIF reflects that in action.

This is what community investment looks like.

Real change doesn’t happen alone; it happens when communities come together.

Last month, Central Texas Community Foundation partnered with and fellow community organizations for Rural Reckoning: From Connection to Collective Power, a gathering focused on healing, leadership, and strengthening rural communities across Central Texas.

Through conversations and shared experiences, we explored how relationships and local action can create ripple effects far beyond a single moment.

At CTXCF, part of our role is helping connect people, resources, and community voices around the issues that matter most across Central Texas.

Because when people come together with a shared purpose, collective impact becomes possible.

Meet the nonprofits behind the impact.

As part of Central Texas Community Foundation’s Giving Circle, Future Fund, we’re highlighting organizations like Deaf Advocates of Central Texas , Hope Austin , and Yesterday’s Gone —each creating meaningful change in our community every single day.

Through this giving circle, your support helps provide funding directly to nonprofits doing critical work across our community, allowing them to grow, reach more people, and continue making a difference where it matters most.

This is the kind of impact your support can create.

Be part of what happens next.
