What Austin Mutual Aid does
Mission
Austin Mutual Aid is a grassroots organization whose mission is to empower and sustain vibrant, joyful, resilient communities. We prioritize the power of long-term, two-way relationships of exchange. We believe in the principles of solidarity, mutual aid, and autonomous direct action. We work with, listen to, and seek leadership from impacted communities, especially the most vulnerable and historically underserved members and build long- term sustainable communities that can weather any storm.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Austin Mutual Aid focuses our programs on the unhoused community and food insecure communities. We provide direct aid to the unhoused through camp support, harm reduction, extreme weather support, assistance with navigating social services to overcome the barriers to attain housing, and run a facebook group where more than 16 thousand community members are able to seek assistance or aid in providing it.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $14k to $20k (+42%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2023 46%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of AUSTIN MUTUAL AID’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

71% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund AUSTIN MUTUAL AID.
