The Entrepreneurs Foundation of Central Texas
MISSION
We promote philanthropy and community engagement while helping entrepreneurs build corporate cultures that contribute to their business success.
VISION
Austin’s entrepreneurial community is known as the most culturally conscious & socially impactful in the country. By our actions, we help elevate our companies and our communities.
We Help Entrepreneurs & Their Teams Build Successful Corporate Cultures
The evidence is conclusive: companies that produce outsized results have strong teams and cultures. We help entrepreneurs build both, which results in stronger performances in the communities where they live and operate.
The Entrepreneurs Foundation, our member companies, and their team members have raised over $18 million for non-profits partners, including over 260,000 volunteer hours. Through our youth entrepreneurship programs, we have reached over 95,000 children who have earned nearly $1.9M and donated over $875,000 to local and national charities. As the nonprofit arm of Capital Factory, we promote philanthropy, community involvement and community-minded corporate cultures.
