Austin is an extraordinary city that a growing number of entrepreneurs call home.  Its attractiveness as a place to live, work, raise families and build companies, creates challenges - the challenges of growth, demographic changes and the need for leadership.

This community’s future depends on energetic and creative responses to these challenges.  Meeting these challenges requires collaborative efforts among the best from government, nonprofits, education and business, including entrepreneurs. 

Entrepreneurs Foundation programs help entrepreneurs and their employees participate in ways that enrich our community while building relationships, networks and successful corporate cultures.  We make it easy for venture-backed start-ups to set aside equity for future community investment.

Successful entrepreneurs know that community involvement contributes to successful corporate cultures, helping attract and retain the best team members.  Our donor advised funds allow entrepreneurs and their boards to inexpensively create funds which can yield thousands (even millions) for community investment when their companies are successful.
                                                       
Our volunteer and leadership programs encourage and facilitate another, equally important investment in Central Texas, the investment of intellectual capital in quality of life initiatives.  We match individuals to important volunteer opportunities and ensure that our community of entrepreneurs is represented at the tables deciding our community’s future.
