The PIP Sustainers Circle is a group of dedicated people who are passionate about furthering PIP’s mission to build a village of support for all new parents in Austin, TX.
Sustainer Circle members make a three-year commitment to invest $1,000 or greater annually to help us reach our goal to connect parents of babies and toddlers with peers, trained facilitators, and experts so they can share the joy and weather the storms of new parenthood together.
PIP recognizes how significant wealth disparities exist across communities due to systemic racism and discrimination. Because of this, we want to empower those who identify with a historically underserved community (racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, economic, cultural, and/or linguistic) to consider investing $800 to $1,000. Our goal is to allow all those who wish to be PIP investors to be able to join and give equitably.
This ongoing support ensures sustainability and innovation for our programming allowing us to focus on long-term strategic goals like providing support to historically underserved communities like Spanish-speaking, Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ families.
