	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 263
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes pleasure in
	recognizing the Austin Community Foundation on the occasion of
	its 35th anniversary; and

	WHEREAS, Established in 1977 with a $30,000 gift from Fanny
	Gray Leo, this geographically focused philanthropic organization
	promotes charitable giving in the Austin area by connecting
	interested donors with worthy recipients; since it was created,
	the Austin Community Foundation has helped fund many deserving
	projects, and today it has more than $100 million in assets and
	manages almost 1,000 charitable funds created by individuals,
	families, and organizations; and

	WHEREAS, The foundation makes investments, monitors them,
	and pays grants from their earnings; this administrative bridge
	enables donors to support specific institutions and causes close
	to home; it also directs and disperses general gifts from donors
	to charitable causes throughout the Austin community; and

	WHEREAS, The Austin Community Foundation has been an
	invaluable asset to the region through its promotion of
	philanthropy and good works; it has helped to make Austin a place
	of prosperity, opportunity, and beauty; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
	Legislature, hereby commend the Austin Community Foundation on
	the occasion of its 35th anniversary and extend to it best wishes
	in all its future endeavors; and, be it further

	RESOLVED,


	Watson
