One Seat Today. A Stronger Austin Tomorrow.

When you give to Leadership Austin, you’re doing more than making a donation — you’re saving a seat for the next courageous leader who will take on Austin’s biggest challenges. You’re fueling the programs that help neighbors become changemakers and conversations become action.

Because every time you help fill a seat, our community grows stronger.
Every leader we train ripples impact across classrooms, boardrooms, and neighborhoods.

Your generosity makes that possible.
