HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our theory of change is that when we invest in the essential work of Austin’s BIPOC Community Frontliners, the entire community benefits.
GIVING TO THE GIVERS through direct investment in the creatives, teachers, social workers, healthcare providers, and service industry workers has an amplifying effect that creates lasting impact on overall community health and well-being.
