Since 2020 has been a little (okay, a lot) different, we are trying something new this year. We looked at our local Austin community and wanted to award those who have done excellent work in the areas of homelessness and job readiness and entrepreneurship, especially in light of the challenges of this year. Some are existing partners, some are new, but all are doing the good and necessary work of peace, love and happiness in a year of so much uncertainty and loss.
We have given each of these organizations grants of $20,000 or more to help them keep their work going or expand their services and support here in Austin for people in need. Thank you so much to everyone — our nonprofit partners, first responders, healthcare workers, delivery people, teachers, parents, day care workers and all of you who put in everyday herculean efforts to keep your family and your community safe and thriving. We look forward to brighter things ahead in 2021, but, for now, let’s celebrate the people and organizations that went above and beyond in 2020:
Multicultural Refugee Coalition
