REBECCA WARREN POWERS ENDOWMENT

​

 

Impact Austin started the Rebecca Warren Powers Endowment in 2016 as an investment in our organization’s permanence. As of November 30, 2020, our endowment totals $101,218.53.

 

The endowment’s growth reflects our members’ energy and commitment as we look to the future. Over time, the investment income that the endowment generates will help support Impact Austin’s annual budget. Put simply, the larger the endowment, the more operating income we earn.
