I Live Here, I Give Here

It’s time to make a difference in our community. Several times a year, I Live Here, I Give Here hosts a mentorship program to foster thoughtful, intentional philanthropy among Austin’s leaders. Attendees will have the chance to visit with some of the most successful and influential men in Austin who make a difference both with their dedication and dollars. They will have the opportunity to hear about the pages these leaders have turned and the lessons they’ve learned. They will receive tips on putting into place their own personal giving plan and how to take action to make our community a better place.
