ACT Membership Information

Austin Coming Together (ACT) is working to achieve four Impact Goals as part of our Thrive 2025 strategic plan. Our 50+ Member Network shares our commitment to improving the quality of life for residents of Chicago’s Austin community.

Starting in Spring 2022, ACT membership is by invitation only. An ACT Membership Interest Form will be available on this site, so please check back soon if your organization’s work directly contributes to one or more of the four Impact Goals in our Thrive 2025 strategic plan (Quality Early Learning, Living Wage Careers, Neighborhood Safety, Stabilizing the Housing Market).

ACT Members have the opportunity to influence:

  • Efforts being made to improve service delivery in Austin;
  • Community organizing and planning that attract new public and private investments to Austin;
  • Creation and execution of a policy agenda that addresses structural barriers threatening the achievement of ACT’s Thrive 2025 impact goals.

ACT provides the structure and resources for our members to increase their collective impact in the Austin community through:

  • Targeted Exposure (of their events, programs and services throughout our network and in the community)
  • Strategic Connections (assistance encouraging collaboration or brokering relationships)
  • Technical Support to maximize their programming, when possible
  • Relentless community engagement to get the word out about our members’ services
