Giving Back to Those who Give the Most: Sponsorship Application for Nonprofits

Recognizing the Heart of Our Communities

Volunteers are the driving force behind so many impactful programs in our communities, and they should be celebrated. That’s why we’re launching this special sponsorship initiative to help local nonprofits honor their volunteers during National Volunteer Appreciation Month in April.

If your organization is making a difference in mental health, childcare, healthy living, or health education in Gillespie, Blanco, Llano, or Mason Counties, or in Comfort, we invite you to apply for funding to support volunteer appreciation activities.
