AUSTIN YOUNG CHAMBER FOUNDATION

The Austin Young Chamber Foundation provides an opportunity for Austin Young Chamber members to give back and help ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to thrive.

Funding Priorities
Through a collective impact funding model, the Foundation provides $1000 grants to 501(c)3 non-profit organizations with initiatives that:

  • Focus on removing barriers to employment
  • Impact individuals in the early workforce stage (0-5 years)
  • Increase employability of underserved populations

In addition to grant funding, organizations have the opportunity to partner with the Austin Young Chamber in the following ways:

  • Receive a complimentary Corporate Membership (includes 2 Elite or 4 General Memberships)
  • Table at the annual Austin Young Chamber Non-Profit Fair
  • Engage membership in a Volunteer Opportunity

You Can Make an Impact
When we work together, we can create change and start to remove the barriers preventing members of our community to thrive. We invite you to join us in making a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
