Ambassadors: Austin
Join a Movement of Gospel-Driven Generosity in Austin
Ambassadors Austin is a community of young adults who are passionate about biblical generosity, wise stewardship, and meaningful impact — together.
What is it?
Ambassadors Club is a giving collaborative — we come together to give to ministries that advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe young adults thrive when they are invited into generosity early in life. Together, we explore what it means to steward God’s resources wisely and impactfully.
Through giving together we experience…
Generous friends are the most life-giving people to be around. Let’s grow in relationship as we invest in God’s Kingdom together!
Community
Our hearts are prone to wonder in a society always telling us more, more, more. Let’s study God’s word on the topic of money together!
Discipleship
Joy
Have you ever met an unhappy generous person? Let’s experience the abundant life Jesus promised!
How it works - a simple, powerful giving process
1. Propose a Ministry
Members nominate a nonprofit they’re passionate
about and write a proposal for the group.
2. Discern Together
The group gathers quarterly for meetings to
discuss and vote on proposals.
3. Give Personally
Each member contributes anonymously to an Ambassadors Austin donor-advised fund (DAF).
4. Collectively Fund
One grant is sent from DAF on behalf of the entire group to the selected ministry. Then we celebrate!

Beginning in December 2010 in Dallas, the Ambassadors Club initiative was launched to engage a small group of young professionals in recurring discussions regarding stewardship of our time, talent, and treasure with the purpose of spreading the truth and love of Jesus Christ.
Today, that same motivation continues to guide Ambassador Club in Tampa Bay (founded 2023) and Austin (founded 2025) as we intentionally engage in building lifestyles of biblical generosity and stewardship. -
