What is Groundbreakers?
Groundbreakers is Austin Parks Foundation's leadership giving circle, made up of generous donors who provide support for the general operations of our organization.
Groundbreakers membership starts at $1,200 per year and can be made as a one-time or monthly donation. Each level of Groundbreakers offers unique benefits to keep you informed and bring you closer to our mission!
At Austin Parks Foundation, we rely on the generosity of our community to help deliver on our mission, and Groundbreakers are integral to our success. In 2020, this group contributed 65% of our yearly fundraising total for unrestricted support and served as advocates for the work we do across Austin.
Groundbreakers – and the generous dollars they contribute – make the difference between just being good enough and providing what the people of Austin truly deserve.
