The Hispanic Impact Fund was founded in 2017 to support the economic mobility and advancement of Hispanic Central Texans—an essential priority for the future of our region. Our collective-giving model continues to be at the heart of our identity, highlighting how every dollar raised contributes to our grantmaking and overall impact.

The 3rd annual "Austin Tech Hall of Fame" and "First Time Founder Award" reception will be held on May 19th. This is part of an "eight year launch" to be able to add to the Hall of Fame all of the people who have contributed to Austin over many decades.

Each year the Austin Technology Council will open up nominations to the community (neither nominators nor those nominated need to be part of ATC). Decisions are made by a committee of independent community members and some ATC board members.

This event was created to celebrate the past, be present in the NOW, and to look toward the future of the Austin tech ecosystem.
