A new record for state employees: $2.3 million donated!

2/16/2010 3:24 PM

We really like follow-up stories like this.

Buy a sick-cute pet calendar, support a new nonprofit in Austin

2/9/2010 10:42 AM

I love discovering new Austin nonprofits, so when Brittani Bash contacted me about AustniPetFinder.org, I had to know more. Plus… I mean, you gotta love this calendar (see below).

Feria Para Aprender: The biggest Austin education event you’ve never heard of

2/2/2010 10:22 AM

When I first heard about Feria Para Aprender, I was shocked. How is it that I don’t know about an education fair in Austin attended by 15,000 Spanish-speaking Austinites in its three years? Am I the only one in Austin who didn’t know about this? Apparently it was brought to Austin Partners in Education by Hispanic [...]...Read More

This is not good news. From an email sent by the Community Action Network: (BTW, CAN’s marking Poverty Awareness Month, y’all! Which begs the question, Do poor people really need to raise their awareness of poverty… and for a whole month? I think they’re painfully aware, thank you.) Travis County Health and Human Services an...Read More

Pastor Joe Parker: Leaders Aren’t Always in the Front

1/18/2010 2:39 PM

In our first issue of GivingCity, we were extremely fortunate to have an opening essay from Pastor Joseph C. Parker, Jr., of Austin’s David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church.
