Thrive 2025

In 2016, ACT developed Thrive 2025, a strategy that focuses the efforts and resources of our member organizations on improving 4 critical community well-being indicators in Austin by the year 2025—1) increase the percentage of third grade students meeting and exceeding state reading and math standards, 2) increase the number of families living above the federal poverty line, 3) decrease the rate of violent crime, and 4) stabilize the median residential property value in Austin.

In order to make an impact on these indicators, the Thrive 2025 strategy will catalyze the collective impact of our members and other important stakeholders through three strategic imperatives:

  • Continuous Improvement of Human Services
  • Community Planning & Investment
  • Building Capacity for Policy Change

We measure our progress and effectiveness as a network by pursuing four 10-year collective impact goals:
