We’re a progressive leader in women’s philanthropy, bringing new resources to the community and making philanthropy accessible. Through high-impact grant making, we engage, develop and inspire women to effect positive .

We believe a diverse group of women, by joining together, can make a big difference in the community. We value integrity, respect, continuous improvement and innovation. We pride ourselves on our transparency, excellence, inclusiveness and accountability. Moreover, each of our members has an equal voice in choosing the recipients of our grants.

Our vision is that our women are inspirational role models reaching their full giving potential for a better quality of life in our community. We will ensure our long-term sustainability by tapping into the talents of our members and building Impact Austin from the "inside out." 

Impact Austin combines annual donations from members and gives multiple grants of more than $100,000 each June to local, worthy causes selected by our members.Our membership requirements are simply to be female and to donate $1,250 each year. Your $1,000 contribution will continue to provide grants for the important work done by our community partners, and an additional $250 is an investment in Impact Austin to support our daily operations and infrastructure. Beyond these requirements, each member can be as engaged or uninvolved as she chooses.

We are a volunteer-driven organization and we tap into the talent pool of our membership. 

Members may volunteer to serve on committees to review grant applications and recommend finalists in each focus area. Grant finalists make presentations at our annual meeting each year to share their stories and learn the outcome of the voting.

Each member casts one vote. The majority vote decides the winning grant recipients. Although members are welcome to volunteer on committees and encouraged to attend the annual meeting, we require no specific time commitment.

Grant applications are accepted in each of the following focus areas:

Culture
Education
Environment
Family
Health and wellness
