Community Initiatives

We sustain nonprofits through building organizational and community capacity.

The San Antonio Area Foundation invests in collective impact, capacity building, and strategic initiatives intended to build organizational and community capacity. Collaboration is an effective way for the Area Foundation to remain responsive to community needs, increase its impact and engage a broader audience on a key issue. Whether partnering with the private sector, public sector, or other funders, we believe that philanthropy is uniquely positioned to fuel innovative strategies and improve alignment of investments to enhance collective action around a shared mission.

They were very friendly and did their best to try and fulfill my needs in this very difficult time. The process was easy to understand and the employee who spoke to me helped me very much… I hope in the near future I could donate as much as I can to help anybody on my situation or worse.”
