We’re all connected here
Nonprofits aren’t charities begging for handouts. They’re sophisticated businesses that happen to reinvest everything back into making our community stronger. They’re more efficient than government, more connected than corporations, and right now, more vulnerable than ever.
Our goal:
- Ensure no neighbor loses vital services
- Protect 87,000+ local jobs
- Maintain our billions in economic impact
- Prove San Antonio takes care of its community members
Why now? The urgency is real.
Urgent issues including federal funding shifts, state budget changes, and a shrinking pool of major funders are leading us into a perfect storm, and the nonprofit organizations that hold our community together are facing unprecedented challenges.
We all benefit from and need the services nonprofits provide. The safety net isn’t abstract — it’s your neighbor keeping her job because affordable childcare exists. It’s your coworker getting mental health support. It’s your parent receiving quality senior services. It’s the veteran down the street finding housing.
How we win together
An investment in nonprofits is a strategic investment in our community — our people, our workforce, our economic engine, our quality of life, and our infrastructure. Here’s how every San Antonian can be part of the solution:
Shift the narrative
Stop saying “charity.” Start saying “economic engine” and “investment.” Help everyone understand that supporting nonprofits means supporting 87,000+ jobs and billions in economic activity.
Be a Voice for Nonprofit Value
Contact your council members and county officials. Tell them nonprofits aren’t optional — they’re essential
Become a champion
Board members: You’re not just governing one organization — you’re protecting an entire ecosystem. Access our advocate toolkit.
Everyone: Give. Volunteer. Vote. Share the real story.
Think investment, not donation
When you support a nonprofit, you’re not giving to charity — you’re investing in economic returns, job creation, and community stability that benefit everyone.
