Because… you’re not going to find information about the latest initiative your favorite nonprofit is working on (and how to get involved) on CNN. It’s all part of our commitment to keeping it local and sharing the best opportunities for you to have a positive impact. 

 

With our “Community New + Partner Posts” section, we help you ‘think global and act local,’ connecting you to Austin’s most impactful businesses and organizations by:

We keep it local.

 

We provide a platform for local businesses, nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and government departments of all sizes to share what they’re working on and finally get the media attention they deserve.

Action Items

 

We share news updates, calls to action, and opportunities to get involved, directly from the local organizations who are doing the real work making our community a better place to live.

We keep it positive.

 

We screen every organization that gets the opportunity to guest post or be highlighted, ensuring they’re doing good for their employees, customers, community, and the planet.
