Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country- Flood Relief Work
The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has been doing incredible work over the past several weeks to raise money for those affected by the devastating floods. More than $60 million has been raised and over $8 million has already been granted to trusted nonprofit partners helping families, businesses, first responders and crisis teams to recover and rebuild across the Hill Country. Their donation page is linked below. We are here to support the Texas Hill Country and all our clients should the need arise in your community!

Thanks for sharing. I've been struggling in getting useful login data and this was helpful.
Re: Grants to High School Sports and/or Club Organizations
Parents at the local high school (with a 75 year old history) formed a booster club called Friends of Gables High, which is a fiscal sponsorship fund of the Community Foundation. We help them when needed to set up campaigns in CommunitySuite to receive donations (tickets) for their fundraising events. I was able to create some custom styles so that the FOGH logo and colors are replicated a little bit from their website, but then CSuite had an upgrade and my creative work was lost. See
CSuite is pretty limited in what a campaign can do, but you can fiddle with it so that a ticket can be used to choose a premium gift, such as a commemorative t-shirt or signed jersey etc., which the booster parents would have to fulfill.
We also have an Eventbrite account and we share it with them. The revenues from it go directly to their fund. This way they can set up ticketed events without help from the foundation staff.
Sometimes the parents have been over-eager and set up GoFundMe pages or tried to collect via PayPal for things and we have to help them curtail it and undo or roll-back all those donations. Once you have a fiscal sponsorship fund, our understanding is that 100% of the donations must come in through the fund.
I hope this helps!
