FGA Gives Back to…
The list of organizations we currently sponsor is shown below. Most of these organizations are involved in addressing the mental health issues of those in greatest need in our community.
AIDS Services of Austin
The mission of AIDS Services of Austin (ASA) is to respond the HIV needs of the Austin area by providing services that enhance the health and well-being of individuals and the community in the face of an evolving epidemic. Today, ASA is the largest provider of HIV/AIDS services in Central Texas - responding to the growing need for care and education.
Caritas
A place to live and food to eat are the most basic needs all people require on a daily basis to sustain themselves. When these basic needs are not met, most people cannot address other issues in their lives. Caritas helps people meet these most basic human needs through providing a community kitchen, food pantry, resettlement program, case management, and self-sufficiency education programs.
Communities in Schools
Communities In Schools helps students stay in school and make right choices by connecting schools with needed community resources. By bringing resources, services, parents, and volunteers into schools, we create a community of caring adults who work hand in hand with educators. In some schools, services are made available to all students and their families. In other schools, CIS connects services with particular students in need, either on a one-time basis or as part of a carefully monitored case management system. CIS also brings community resources to students and families through after-school programs.
Front Steps
The individuals and families that come to Front Steps find themselves in a range of circumstances. Some have just recently lost a job, health insurance or home. Others have been living on the streets for years and are at various stages of having their needs addressed. Some are dealing with health issues, mental illness, substance abuse or emotional crisis, in addition to their income and housing needs. Front Steps' programs are designed to address a spectrum of immediate and long-term needs, with services providing for emergency shelter and basic needs to life skills classes and loans for permanent housing.
Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer's Association, Capital of Texas Chapter offers a variety of support services for caregivers and their families. They provide an informative newsletter, educational classes, 24/7 Helpline, support groups and numerous other supportive services for caregivers and families.
SafePlace
SafePlace exists to end rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence. They create a safe place for women, children and men who have been victimized by rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence and offer a comprehensive and compassionate continuum of services. SafePlace provides support and resources for survivors to create independent lives, free of violence, for themselves and their families.
Wright House Wellness Center
The philosophy of The Wright House Wellness Center is to help people living with chronic illnesses make healthier life-style choices and employ integrated wellness therapies to delay the illness. They provide no-cost to low-cost physical and emotional support and services for persons living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and hepatitis C; peer education and support; and community education. The Wright House is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization funded by a combination of private and public sources and receives monetary and in-kind support from a variety of individuals and organizations. Dedicated volunteers and practitioners donate their time and talents to ensure that programs and services are available to clients of the center. Most of the services provided by the Wright House are free to the client. Other services are offered on a sliding scale based on income, or are offered as at reduced flat fee.
Capital Area Mental Health Center
Capital Area Mental Health Center (CAMHC) provides low cost psychological counseling services to the central Texas community. CAMHC offers services to address virtually all mental health issues on a slide-to-$0 scale based on household income. CAMHC is virtually the only central Texas program which provides services with no session limits. The length of service is based only on the clinical needs of the client.
SIMS Foundation
The SIMS Foundation was founded to provide low-cost counseling and other mental health services that would be tailored specifically to the needs of musicians and their families. Services available from SIMS include information and referral services; individual, family, and couples counseling; therapy for children and adolescents; and substance abuse therapy and referrals. SIMS services stand out from other mental health providers because of the attention paid to the specific needs of musicians and their families. SIMS welcomes musicians from all musical genres, races, and ethnicities who meet the eligibility requirements. Even those who do not meet the eligibility requirements can find support through SIMS because the clinical staff members stay well-informed of area services and can provide callers with information on other community resources that may be of benefit to them. This may include financial, medical, housing, or informational resources.
LifeWorks
LifeWorks is Austin’s only non-profit organization to provide a continuum of services to youth and families, addressing critical needs to achieve lasting, positive change. They provide support to homeless and runaway youth, including Austin’s only walk-in emergency shelter. They also offer counseling, including crisis intervention, to youth and families, parenting and educational support for teenage mothers and fathers, GED and life skills training, youth and families alternatives to violence.
