GiveBastrop.com is a community-driven platform designed to connect residents of Bastrop County, Texas, with local non-profits, volunteer opportunities, and charitable events. Launched by T.J. Finn, Heather Lyons, and Amberley Palmer, the initiative aims to foster a more compassionate and engaged community by making it easier for individuals to support causes they care about.
Mission and Features
The platform serves as a centralized hub for:
Non-Profit Directory: A searchable database of local non-profit organizations, allowing users to learn about their missions and find ways to contribute.
Volunteer Opportunities: Listings of events and programs seeking volunteer support, making it simple for community members to get involved.
Donation Options: Users can donate directly to specific charities or allow GiveBastrop.com to allocate funds to organizations in need. It's important to note that while the platform supports non-profits, it is not a non-profit organization itself.
Community Events Calendar: An up-to-date schedule of local events, fundraisers, and community gatherings.

Heather Lyons: An advocate for tourism and local engagement, serving on various community boards.
