Why We’re Here

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.

Testimonial

“"Austin Speech Labs did miracle with me, got me of my isolation and back into college. They gave me not only my speech but a new life to me. I'm back in college again. Thank you for providing this opportunity even though i had no insurance and money to get private therapy - Stroke Survivor, 26yrs of age". "My mom (84yrs of age) has a place that she looks to visiting every day. Before Austin Speech Labs, she was home just sitting in front of TV. The day I met Shilpa I knew mom would love Austin Speech Labs. They care for older adults and help them communicate. I don't know how they do it, mom loves going to Austin Speech Labs. Thank you - Michael(son)".”
