About​

The South Central Texas Rural Philanthropy Day is a one-of-a-kind event designed to build the capacity of our local nonprofits and strengthen their relationships with funders in our rural area. No longer will local organizations have to spend hundreds of dollars to attend professional development conferences miles out of town, an expense many cannot afford. This annual event brings that vital education locally while ensuring it is affordable.
