At United Way for Greater Austin, our mission is to inspire, lead and unite an eclectic community of philanthropists including individuals, nonprofits, businesses and government to overcome barriers to economic opportunities and ensure Greater Austin continues to thrive.
To help fulfill this mission, we offer our donors the opportunity to designate a portion or all of their donation to any nonprofit of their choice.
Below is a TOP 50 list of local organizations our donors designated a portion or all of their donation to in our 2012 Campaign Year. In total, during the 2012 Campaign Year, we raised $16 MILLION for 1,712 nonprofit organizations!
So, THANK YOU Austin! Because of each and every one of our donors and supporters, Central Texas is becoming a better place to live for ALL of us.
