CareBOX Program, HAAM and Seedling Foundation
named recipients of the third annual Q-mmunity Gives grant
program
Austin FC and Q2 Holdings Inc. today announced the three
recipients of the 2023 Q-mmunity Gives grant program. Local
nonprofit organizations CareBOX Program, Health Alliance for Austin
Musicians (HAAM) and Seedling Foundation will each receive a
$50,000 grant to focus on advancing underrepresented communities in
Central Texas.
“Austin is home to a thriving nonprofit community,” said Austin
FC President Andy Loughnane. “We are extremely proud to work
alongside our partners at Q2 for a third consecutive year in an
effort to help enrich the community by supporting local
organizations that remain committed to providing equal
opportunities for all Texans.”
“At Q2, our mission is to build strong and diverse communities
by strengthening their financial institutions,” said Q2 CEO Matt
Flake. “We are excited to support the missions of this year’s grant
recipients alongside Austin FC and look forward to watching them
deepen their impact in Central Texas.”
CareBOX Program’s mission is to help prevent malnutrition,
infections and injuries not typically covered by insurance. They
provide free essential supplies to cancer patients going through
treatment and have delivered over three thousand CareBOXes
containing well over a million dollars in supplies.
“I want to express our profound gratitude for the grant provided
to CareBOX Program,” said CareBOX Program Executive Director
Chandler Stancliff. “Austin FC and Q2’s generous contribution will
go a long way in ensuring that the CareBOX Program can continue to
make a positive impact in the local cancer community. Again, we
can’t thank everyone involved in this decision enough, and we are
extremely grateful and excited to work with Austin FC and Q2.”
HAAM provides low-income, working musicians in the Greater
Austin area with access to affordable healthcare with a focus on
prevention and wellness. By improving and saving musicians' lives,
HAAM and its healthcare partners enhance Austin's economy and
quality of life. HAAM has helped over six thousand musicians across
seven counties access over $144 million in healthcare services
since its origination in 2005.
“HAAM is honored to be a recipient of the Q-mmunity grant in
support of our life-saving programs and services,” said HAAM Chief
Development Officer Christopher Alberts. “For every $100 raised,
HAAM is able to leverage $700 worth of healthcare services for
low-income working musicians in Central Texas, meaning the
Q-mmunity Gives grant contribution will provide $350,000 worth of
care including preventative and specialty care, dental, mental
health, vision, hearing and basic needs. We are so grateful for the
support that helps keep music in Austin alive and well.”
Seedling is a Central Texas-based mentorship program that
supports children impacted by parental incarceration through
school-based mentoring. Their mission is to provide children with
the promise of an education, a future and the ability to contribute
positively to society. Since its founding in 2006, Seedling has
served over 2,700 students across 100+ campuses in 17 independent
and charter districts in Central Texas.
"It is a huge honor to have been chosen as a 2023 Q-mmunity
Gives grant recipient,” said Seedling Foundation CEO Dan Leal.
“This generous gift will bring needed financial support and
awareness for Seedling's life-changing mentoring program for
children impacted by parental incarceration. Seedling shares and
appreciates Austin FC and Q2's vision that our Central Texas
community has the opportunity and resources needed to thrive. We
are so grateful and excited for what this partnership will do for
children who are without a parent at home due to
incarceration."
The three (3) grants will contribute directly to aiding each
organization in its respective mission related to promoting equity
and inclusion in Central Texas. The Q-mmunity Gives grant program,
funded and presented by Austin FC and Q2, will continue to award
Q-mmunity Gives grants annually.
