ATX Good News Partnerships
ATX Good News has partnered with RecognizeGood since 2021. It’s a wonderful alliance with the shared goal of illuminating examples of goodness in the community. RecognizeGood is a nonprofit that provides unique programs, ranging from celebration to education, but the root remains the same—shining the light on the GOOD in Central Texas.
ATX Good News supports I Live Here, I Give Here, an organization that supports more than 700 other nonprofit organizations with a mission to increase generosity across the community. I Live Here I Give Here leads and promotes Amplify Austin Day and GivingTuesday, and inspires volunteerism and giving throughout Central Texas.

Austin Social Venture Partners is a group of community leaders who provide pro bono advice and resources to local nonprofits to help ensure people from all walks of life have the chance to meet their full potential.
ATX Good News partners with the Austin Chamber’s Austin Gives program to help spread the news about community-conscious local businesses. Austin Gives highlights companies that donate 1 percent or more of their pre-tax earnings to the local community in the form of financial contributions, donations of products and services, and volunteer hours.
