How We Work
Breaking the cycle of economic insecurity and creating a thriving Central Texas requires a strategic focus. Each part of our strategy – data-driven insights, strong coalitions, life-changing services, and bold advocacy – is critically important on its own. But combined, they create powerful change in our community, both meeting the immediate needs of today and building a brighter future for tomorrow.
Our integrated approach is our formula for transforming lives and shaping a more prosperous community for everyone.

Our Strategies
Data
We are more than just a repository of information; we are the caretakers of research-based insights, with our fingers on the pulse of liveability in Central Texas.
Coalitions
Inspired by our community’s leadership and energy, we create and nurture lasting coalitions, igniting collective impact with community members and nonprofit partners. Coalitions align and streamline the efforts of many organizations working in the same sector by establishing shared goals and measurements to track progress, amplifying the impact beyond what any one organization can do alone.
Services & Support
We have the experience and vantage point to facilitate the greatest impact in the collective fight to break the cycle of economic insecurity. We offer direct services when we’re in the best position to do so, and when we’re not, we invest in nonprofits doing impactful and aligned work.
Advocacy
We work hand-in-hand with our coalitions and communities to influence public policy across various governmental levels. Amplifying the voices of those most impacted by our mission is crucial for nurturing a community environment where everyone can thrive in dignity and security.
