AUSTIN YOUNG CHAMBER FOUNDATION
The Austin Young Chamber Foundation provides an opportunity for Austin Young Chamber members to give back and help ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to thrive.
Funding Priorities

- Focus on removing barriers to employment

- Increase employability of underserved populations
In addition to grant funding, organizations have the opportunity to partner with the Austin Young Chamber in the following ways:
- Receive a complimentary Corporate Membership (includes 2 Elite or 4 General Memberships)
- Table at the annual Austin Young Chamber Non-Profit Fair
- Engage membership in a Volunteer Opportunity
