The Austin Community Foundation is offering grants through its Women's Fund to advance the economic mobility of women and children in the Central Texas region, encompassing Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Burnet, and Caldwell Counties. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to address systemic barriers and provide direct services to improve the lives of these vulnerable populations. The grant program seeks to support organizations that are committed to creating lasting, positive change for women and children facing economic hardship. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are women and children with low incomes in the six-county Central Texas area.
