I Live Here, I Give Here’s mission is to deepen and expand the culture of personal philanthropy by inspiring Central Texans to invest more money in our community. We educate and connect individuals and non-profits so more Central Texans experience the personal benefit of increased philanthropy.
Did you know Austin is ranked 48th out of the 50 largest cities in the nation in per capita charitable giving?
Austin is a vibrant city with a personality all its own. The people are passionate, driven, and generous volunteers of their time and talent. But that’s not enough. The biggest problem facing Austin Nonprofits is there is not enough money.
For a city so involved in protecting its natural habitats and native small businesses, the nonprofit needs of Austin should be equally met. But the severe shortage of funds for Nonprofits hurts the community every day.
This is where I Live Here, I Give Here steps in. Our main purpose is to connect people like YOU with the issues you care about and the Nonprofits that support them.
I Live Here, I Give Here is proud of the work we have accomplished since our launch in 2007. We connect the people of Austin with the causes they care about.
We partner with nonprofit groups so they can be more accessible to you. We spotlight specific needs in Austin every month to let you know how you can help.

Our arts and culture community does much more than enrich our perspective. In 2010, the creative sector of Austin’s economy accounted for just over $4.35 billion in economic activity, including an estimated 49,000 permanent jobs. Clearly, the arts play an important role in building Austin. Learn more about the nonprofits who work to sustain the vibrancy of the arts in Austin.

"A Place At The Table" Documentary Screening & Panel Discussion:
7:00 pm @ Bob Bullock Texas History Museum
Join the Center for Public Policy Priorities for a special screening of A Place at the Table. This important documentary examines the issue of hunger in America through the lens of three people struggling with food insecurity.
Ultimately, A Place at the Table shows us how hunger poses serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation, and that it could be solved once and for all, if the American public decides that making healthy food available and affordable is in the best interest of us all.
An expert panel discussion will follow the screening of A Place at the Table with a focus on the issues that we face here in Texas regarding hunger, food security, and health.
