• Mission

The nonprofit subgroup of Bootstrap Austin seeks to create a community of individuals interested in using the bootstrap methodology to turn their ideas into strong, productive nonprofit organizations. This community will act as a foundation by which its members may more fully develop their ideas then begin to develop and provide services. This foundation will allow the functionality of members' organizations to grow unencumbered by outside funding sources. Through the nonprofit subgroup, a myriad of resources will become available to members as the group grows in size and as the individuals grow in expertise. Also, through the subgroup's connection with the larger bootstrap group, cross-pollination may occur to generate unexpected and exciting ideas and possibilities.
