Walk Austin is making it official!

We are incredibly grateful for the support of our donors as we work toward our goal of acquiring nonprofit status. It came to our attention that there are others who would like to contribute, so we have extended our campaign through Friday, August 4th. All donations will go toward our 501(c)(3) incorporation, followed by other essential organizational expenses such as marketing, fees, and grant matching.

Thank you again for walking alongside us!

Walk Austin works to move Austin toward a culture of walking as a transportation mode throughout the city. We aim to make walking enjoyable, healthy, and safe by collaborating with diverse communities and city leaders to improve policies, programs, and infrastructure.

We are passionate that a “compact and connected” Austin will improve the pedestrian experience in our City. We will support design features that are friendly to pedestrians of all ages and abilities including more comfortable street design and safe crossings, improved connectivity, and a denser mix of land uses.

As soon as we hit the mark, we will use it to pay our attorney and the required filing fees associated with acquiring 501(c)3 status.

We are taking the step to become a 501(c)3 so that we can solicit grant funding and expand our efforts to promote walkability in Austin.
