Here’s what our current corporate partners have to say:
“CAPTRUST has been proud to work with the Seedling Foundation for many years. We know that investors are looking for experienced and trusted advisors who can provide wealth and endowment and foundation services focused on unique circumstances tailored to their goals. CAPTRUST has sponsored the “FAB 5” for several years now and this year is special because you are honoring one of our own, Lisa Ivie Miller, as a “FAB 5” honoree. Lisa has proudly volunteered in the Austin community and helps the CAPTRUST Community Foundation(CCF) make grants throughout Texas. In 2022, the CAPTRUST Community Foundation provided $1,138,442 in grants across our markets where one hundred percent of donations made to the CCF go toward enriching the live of children in the communities we serve.”
“Austin Water is proud to have served the community for more than 100 years, providing safe, reliable, high-quality, and affordable drinking water to our customers. We believe that our water is your water, and this spirit of public service is exemplified by our employees, who are committed to giving back to this place we call home. Austin Water has been a long-time participant in Seedling’s mentoring program because investing in our region’s youth will lead to a bright future for Central Texas.”
“Verbena Floral Design feels fortunate to be a small business in Austin, providing fresh custom floral arrangements to the Austin community for nearly 20 years. Because of this, we feel it is extremely important to show the same love and support to our fellow Central Texans, especially those who are in need. Verbena Floral Design is honored to show support to Seedling Mentors, who provide such a valuable service of guidance, friendship, and support for youth in our community.”
