Background
In celebration of National Nonprofit Day on August 17, One Voice Central Texas has launched a campaign to explore what our community would look like if nonprofits disappeared for just one day. We’ve gathered data, stories, and interviews from 44 nonprofit organizations in the Austin area to showcase their impact on a single day.
With public and private funding becoming more competitive – driven by a 22% increase in Texas nonprofits over the past decade – and individual donations and volunteerism still in a decline due to the pandemic, many impactful organizations are being forced to limit services, lay off staff, or even close their doors. When nonprofits are unable to provide preventive services and other means of support, our community and neighbors suffer.
Through images and video, we’ll be highlighting just how essential these organizations are to the health and safety of our community. Remember, the numbers we share are based on the daily impact of just 44 nonprofits in the Austin area – imagine the impact of all 800+ local health and human service nonprofits.
Audience
Through this public awareness campaign, we hope to re-invigorate or spark a brand new passion for health and human service nonprofit organizations among community members. In turn, community members will volunteer, donate, share their passion by advocating for nonprofits, and vote for policies which support nonprofit organizations.

- DONATE to nonprofits by volunteering their time, or financially through monthly donations
- LEARN about their local nonprofits and find where their passions can be utilized
