About ATX Impact
A directory for the people
doing the work.
People across Austin already do work that matters, and most of it is hard to find unless you know who to ask. ATX Impact puts it in one place.
Read the mission ↓Purpose
Help people find
where to start.
Put Austin’s people, organizations, causes and resources in one place, so anyone who wants to help can find a way in.
That might be an introduction, a neighborhood gathering or a shared resource. Wherever someone starts, the next step should be easy to see.
Principles
How we
work.
Make the next step clear
Every listing should tell you how to take part.
Keep claims checkable
Say what exists, what’s planned and what still needs proof.
Progress
Where it
is now.
The site, the directory design and the navigation are built. Listings, accounts and submissions come next.
There are no results to report until the directory opens.
Read the build report →Method
Start small and build from use.
List what’s here, ask people to correct it, and build what they ask for.

It started with one question.

Read the founding essay →The wider network
One platform,
separate communities.
ATX Impact and Berkshire Impact run on the same platform. Each community keeps its own people, records and relationships.
