About Notley Impact
Notley Impact uses its Changemaker Program to give $10,000 unrestricted awards to individual changemakers, pairing the money with connections and strategic guidance. That structure shows up alongside grantmaking to nonprofits that work on food access, reentry, disability services, youth development, and civic engagement. In 2024, the largest grant in the recent list went to Keep Austin Fed for $45,255 to reduce hunger and help the environment by connecting surplus food with neighbors in need. Another substantial award went to Sanctuary Night in Columbus for $40,524 to support women at risk for sexual exploitation. The foundation also funded Second Day Impact in Austin with $37,680 for emerging leaders in the social impact sector, and Jail to Jobs in Leander with $30,070 to help ex-offenders find employment. These grants point to a funder that backs direct service, capacity building, and community-driven social innovation rather than a single issue area. The recent record also includes recurring support for some organizations across 2023 and 2024, which suggests an ongoing relationship with selected recipients.
What Notley Impact Funds
Food systems appear in the grant list through Keep Austin Fed, which received $45,255 in 2024 to connect surplus food with neighbors in need. The foundation also supported Franklinton Farms with $10,000 for a neighborhood and food system that values land, people, and community. In reentry and rehabilitation, Jail to Jobs received $30,070 to help ex-offenders find employment, and Freed Texas got $12,500 to support rehabilitation for people leaving incarceration. Youth and community development shows up in Final Third Foundation’s $16,701 award for soccer-based youth programs and events, while Black Outside received $12,500 to reconnect Black youth to the outdoors. Civic and identity-focused work also appears in Pride Center San Antonio’s $10,000 grant for LGBTQIA+ community support and Culturingua’s $10,000 award to preserve MENASA heritage while investing in youth, community, and economic development.
How Notley Impact Gives
The typical award size centers on $10,000, with a lower quartile of $10,000, a median of $10,000, and a 75th percentile of $16,701. The recent list shows both one-time and repeated support: Sanctuary Night appears in 2023 and 2024, and several 2023 grantees sit alongside 2024 awards. Notley Impact is a public charity rather than a private family foundation or DAF sponsor, and it also runs a grant interest form for Austin-based nonprofits. It funds unrestricted changemaker awards in some cases and program-specific support in others, combining operating-style backing with targeted grants.
