REBECCA WARREN POWERS
ENDOWMENT FOR IMPACT AUSTIN

​

 

The Rebecca Warren Powers Endowment for Impact Austin started in 2016 as an investment in our organization’s permanence.

​

 

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 to support the operations and mission of Impact Austin. As of June 30, 2021, our endowment totals $228,687.85.
