On August 17, 2026, Nonprofit Austin at Austin Community College welcomed nonprofit practitioners, community leaders, partners, and friends to the Red Oak Ballroom for our National Nonprofit Day Celebration.

The evening celebrated the people and organizations whose work strengthens communities across Central Texas while also marking a special milestone: 25 years of Nonprofit Austin serving the nonprofit community.

Guests gathered for an evening of connection, reflection, and recognition, with remarks from leaders across the nonprofit community and Austin Community College. Most importantly, the celebration provided an opportunity to recognize the dedication, collaboration, and impact of the practitioners who make this work possible.

With Gratitude

We extend our sincere thanks to the speakers, sponsors, and community partners who helped make our National Nonprofit Day Celebration possible. Your time, support, and commitment helped create a meaningful evening centered on celebrating the people and organizations strengthening communities across Central Texas.

A special thank you to RecognizeGood and Executive Director Joel Coffman for helping make the evening even more meaningful. Their recognition of Nonprofit Austin’s 25 years of service, along with their generous contribution, reflects a shared commitment to celebrating and supporting the people and organizations making a difference across Central Texas.

This celebration reminded us how meaningful it is to bring our nonprofit community together. We look forward to continuing the tradition and celebrating National Nonprofit Day with you again next year!
