Austin Browncoats Charity
Austin Browncoats is dedicated to raising money for other Non-Profit Charities. While we already have a select group of charities that we support, such as Equality Now and Kids Need To Read, our Board of Directors will research any charity recommended to us by our Members. We are always looking for new organizations that need our support. We chose one non-profit organization per fundraiser (event, convention raffle, etc.) that we support and advertise. For our raffles, if available, we include specific items donated by or on behalf of that charitable organization. As stated in our Mission Statement, "the organization (Austin Browncoats) shall raise money for women’s, children’s and other charities by promoting fan participation in charitable fundraising activities."
If you'd like to see the Austin Browncoats involved with a specific event, fundraiser or convention, please email us with your suggestions and we'll get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Heart House Austin
Heart House's innovative afterschool program is the only daily program for school-age children in a neighborhood known for its high crime, high unemployment, and lack of affordable, quality care for children. At Heart House, children have access to caring adult mentors, homework assistance, art enrichment, computer learning, health and safety education, and literacy programs.
EmanciPET
EmanciPet, Inc., founded in 1999, is a 501(c)(3), tax-exempt nonprofit organization located in Austin, Texas. EmanciPET is dedicated to preventing animal homelessness and putting an end to euthanasia as a means of population control by providing low-cost or free surgical sterilization of dogs and cats. This website is designed to inform pet owners (and future pet owners) about our services and raise awareness about the pet overpopulation problem in Austin and the spay/neuter solution. In the city of Austin alone, almost 1,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each month! If more pet owners had their pets spayed or neutered, the number of animals euthanized would decrease. If you own a dog or cat, we urge you to join us in combating animal overpopulation and euthanasia by having your pet spayed or neutered.

adults as well as providing transitional housing, advocacy and life
