Partners in Philanthropy

Philanthropy touches every life in Bandera County. Volunteers from 214 nonprofit organizations fight our fires, clean our rivers, save our environment, feed our infirmed, care for our sick, counsel our abused and protect our lives.

They make quilts for charity, promote the arts, provide entertainment, presereve our cowboy heritage, shelter the homeless and help the troubled smile again.

These are some of the things volunteers do. They work without pay to make their community a better place to live. Since that is the mission of the Bandera Community Foundation, we are proud to introduce our "Partners in Philanthropy," those nonprofit organizations that believe as we do that one organization, one individual, can make a difference in the quality of life for all of us.
