In July 2008, the Greater Round Rock Community Foundation received a donation of six acres of land valued at $1.3 million from Trisun Healthcare. The land came with the caveat that it be used to serve the community. And it is indeed being used to serve the community.

Demolition of the site was completed in November and was made possible through the donation of $35,000 worth of services from Atmos Energy, Round Rock Refuse and Ramming Paving.

The Nonprofit Campus is a project initiated by the Greater Round Rock Community Foundation with a mission of centralizing nonprofit services.

The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life in Round Rock by enhancing the depth of available resources.

The Innovation in Philanthropy Award was awarded to Mike Swayze for his vision and his tireless efforts to make the Higher Education Center in Round Rock a reality.

Thanks to generous donors, the assets of the Foundation increased $950,000 in the last three months of 2010.

Thank you Rick Akins, Attorney with Akins, Nowlin and Prewitt for recommending the Foundation to a client who was interested in benefiting the community leading to a $5m+ bequest.
