We are filled with gratitude for the partners whose steady support helps build a bright future for our youth.
We are excited to share the 2026 Gratitude Report, a reflection of Friends Austin's progress over the past year and a celebration of our community of partners and champions. The generosity of individuals, companies, organizations, and foundations allows us to grow our mission and serve the youth in our program. Your partnership provides the steady support that makes this work possible.
This year's report, from its design to its stories, reflects the steady presence of Friends in our youths' lives and the community that sustains those relationships. In this report, you will learn about our impact over the past year and meet individuals behind the data. Their stories bring to life the commitment behind our work: one child, one mentor, 12+ years – no matter what.
Special thanks to INK Communications Co. for donating editing and design services toward the creation of this report.
