The ACF fundholder experience

Community foundations are uniquely positioned to amplify the impact of philanthropy within a specific region. Unlike other providers, which may offer minimal philanthropic services to donors, Austin Community Foundation is rooted in a mission to serve our community’s needs and support donors.

  • Local expertise

    ACF has a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in Central Texas. Our team work closely with nonprofits, community leaders, and stakeholders to identify pressing issues and develop effective solutions.

  • Tailored philanthropic solutions

    One size does not fit all when it comes to philanthropy. ACF recognizes each donor has unique passions, values, and goals. We offer personalized services to help you craft a giving strategy that reflects your priorities and preferences.

  • Opportunities to engage

    When you open a DAF, you become part of a network of donors who share a common goal: to create positive change where it’s needed most. In addition to attending optional events, fundholders can make a greater impact by collaborating and giving collectively.

  • Fees that support your community

    ACF fundholders invest in the long-term sustainability of Central Texas. Like any institution, we assess a fee to manage your fund, but fees at ACF are reinvested into the community and support solutions to the challenges we face here in Central Texas.

  • Ability to donate complex assets

    ACF works with donors of all types and can accept a variety of complex, illiquid assets. Our knowledgeable team can quickly vet an opportunity to help you maximize a situation, which ultimately means more resources to support nonprofits near and far.

  • Creative funding opportunities

    Go beyond traditional grantmaking with impact investments that address local issues in Central Texas. Our investment options give you the ability to grow your philanthropic dollars while you fund positive change in our community.
