Investment, not charity
In San Antonio and Bexar County, we take care of our neighbors. It’s who we are. Right now, the organizations that connect us by employing 87,000+ of our neighbors and contributing billions to our local economy need All Hearts on Deck. Federal funding shifts are creating unprecedented challenges, leaving the nonprofit organizations that provide essential services to our community at risk.
This isn’t about charity — it’s about real businesses that happen to be nonprofits. These mission-driven organizations serve as economic engines and community anchors, touching every life in San Antonio. From the museums where children learn, to the services that help neighbors through cancer, from veterans’ programs to the arts that make our city vibrant — we all profit from nonprofits.
San Antonio has always taken care of its own. Now it’s time to prove it.

This is what we’re protecting
Think nonprofits are just about helping “others?” Think again. Every person in San Antonio — including you — is supported by nonprofit services:
Your quality of life:
Libraries, museums, parks, arts, cultural events
Your safety net:
Healthcare, mental health services, disaster relief, recovery programs
Your economy:
87,000+ jobs, billions in annual impact, tourism drivers
Your community:
Youth programs, senior services, veteran support, education
When we invest in nonprofits, we’re not giving to charity — we’re building the infrastructure that makes San Antonio strong. These are sophisticated businesses that reinvest every margin back into our community.
