Why We Give
ACC has a major impact on the community. We make sure students have food, childcare, and mental health services, on top of an education. Our purpose is to give back to students and serve our community, and it’s why I brag about working at ACC. Whatever we need to do, we get it done for the students. It’s important to remember the people who helped you get to where you are today, and when you have the opportunity to help others, you take it.

I work directly with students in the Radio-Television-Film Department, and I see the impact ACC has on our community daily. Support from donors to our program helps students tell their stories which are as unique as they are, you can see that in what they write and the films they make. Our students are here to work; they are resilient, grateful, and incredibly talented. As ACC employees, we give back because we see that same drive in our students that we have.

Austin Community College
As a first-generation college student and a social worker by trade, I’ve spent 20 years at Austin Community College witnessing how education changes the trajectory of a person’s life, just as it did mine. Even with initiatives like free tuition that open the door to education, students still face the reality of choosing between buying gas to get to class or feeding their children. Their success requires us to think of the student holistically, and that is where the ACC Foundation steps in. My husband and I established an endowment here because we believe that when you give to the Foundation, you aren’t just funding an institution; you are directly removing the barriers that keep a student from finishing their degree. No contribution is too small to make an impact.

ACC holds a special place in my heart because I have seen how deeply individuals are impacted by it. It’s a place for them to redeem themselves. A place of second chances. A place that meets them where they're at to help them get to where they need to get to.
