At The Brad & Ashley Stuver Foundation, our vision is a world where every community thrives and every voice is heard. We champion social justice causes that resonate with our values, and since launching in August 2024, we've turned that vision into $19,460 in grants to nine local and statewide nonprofits.

Our Mission: Fostering Progress Through Empathy and Advocacy

The Brad & Ashley Stuver Foundation raises money in our community and puts it directly into the hands of vetted, local nonprofits doing the work. Rather than spreading ourselves across an ever-growing list of causes, we organize everything we fund around three pillars.

Pillar 1 — Equity & Rights

The right to vote, to choose, and to live authentically.

We support organizations defending the rights that make a free and fair society possible: the right to vote, the right to make decisions about your own body, and the right to live authentically regardless of who you love or how you identify. This includes reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ equality, voting access, and gun violence prevention.

Organizations we’ve supported: AVOW, Equality Texas Foundation, Texas Gun Sense, Texas Freedom Network / TFN, Texas Rising, Giffords

Pillar 2 — Community & Culture

What makes Austin feel like home.

We support the people and places that make our community feel like home — from free laundry days for families who need a hand, to live theatre that brings neighbors together under the stars. This includes basic-needs work, local arts, and a growing focus on outdoor recreation and public space.

Organizations we’ve supported: Current's Laundry Project, Zilker Theatre Productions.

Pillar 3 — Compassion for All

Every living being deserves care.

We believe a compassionate community looks out for animals, too. We support organizations working to rescue, provide welfare for, and ensure the humane treatment of animals across Texas.

Organizations we’ve supported: Rescue ATX Dogs, Austin Pets Alive (APA!)
