Our annual gala event, the Moontower Ball, will honor Austinites who are driving positive community impact and gather philanthropically minded individuals for an evening of celebration. Join over 600 nonprofit and grassroots organization staff, social entrepreneurs and philanthropists in one physical space – independent of traditional for-profit and nonprofit silos – in support of fellow leaders who are tackling challenges of today and tomorrow. During the event, we present Changemaker Awards to leaders helping Austinites thrive through community stewardship, rising leadership, racial justice, affordability, innovation and philanthropy. 2023 Changemaker Award nominees will be announced in the coming months.
