In 2021, the Summit Foundation formed a new community partnership with Partnerships for Children (“PFC”). PFC was founded in 2003 to bridge the gap between limited government resources and the growing needs of children and families in the care of Child Protective Services (“CPS”). The mission of PFC is to make tomorrow better than today by supporting and empowering children, youth, and families involved in CPS. Although Summit Foundation will continue to support other nonprofits, PFC is our primary community partner. The partnership consists of a donation made to the organization annually and various hosted service events for Summit employees in support of PFC’s resource, mentoring and support programs.

In addition to our community partnership, we provide our team members with other charitable engagement opportunities. Most notably, we have participated in disaster relief efforts, built a sustainable garden for child learning and development at Variety’s Peaceable Kingdom Retreat for Children, held various in-kind donation and blood drives, and participated in the Central Texas Food Bank’s mobile food pantry. Over the past six years, we have supported 24 families and 160 family members by providing gifts on their holiday wish lists through Any Baby Can, SAFE Alliance and PFC. Since 2020, we have assembled 1,250 hygiene kits to support victims of sexual or domestic violence through SAFE Alliance. Since 2022, we have collectively donated over $11,000 to 17 nonprofit organizations during Amplify Austin Day, our local day of giving in Central Texas.
