Support by Volunteerism/Committee Roles

A friend, a former chairman of a board in Austin, recently told us foundations are boosted by people who bring time, treasure or talent to a project. We appreciate the support we are receiving since our public charity status was granted by the Secretary of State in August, 2024 and our IRS 501c (3) status was granted in July 2025. This support enriches our programming of cultural and education events, as well as future growth.

Here we identify some current specific volunteer roles with tasks. Call for discussion or sign up below providing information, and a Benini Foundation board member or committee chair will email or call you. Thank you so much!
