HC4A supports education for children and youth from low-income or homeless families.
Vocational education doesn’t just teach critical job-ready skills—it creates opportunities. Research shows students with vocational training earn a 6% wage premium over their general education peers by age 33. The impact reaches further as our STEM graduates find employment with industry-leading organizations across the state, equipped to thrive in today’s competitive job market.
Even more inspiring? Many recipients return to serve their communities, creating a circle of generosity and impact that keeps expanding.
Be the hero in someone’s success story. By contributing to the Legacy Scholarship Program, you empower low-income individuals to rise above adversity and unlock long-term career success.
This program provides students up to three years of educational funding, helping to alleviate financial burdens and allowing them to focus on achieving life-transforming goals. Many donors dedicate scholarships in honor of loved ones or influential mentors, making their gift deeply personal and meaningful.
Consider Mohammed and Thu, two inspiring recipients of this program:
Your contribution doesn’t just help students succeed—it uplifts entire communities.
At HC4A, we believe in unity, and our events embody this spirit. This April, our “Bollywood Meets Borscht Belt” (BMBB) multicultural fundraiser united diverse communities for a common cause—raising over $40,000 each year to fund 1,500 backpacks for homeless students.
With your support, HC4A has provided over 13,000 backpacks to homeless children, giving them a sense of normalcy and the tools they need to succeed.
HC4A continues to explore ways to bridge income disparities and is now taking a giant leap forward by partnering with Grow with Google: Aligned with HC4A’s mission of supporting underprivileged students, this initiative builds on past successes such as vocational scholarships for homeless youth.
Your support is vital to run these key programs, and to help uplift the communities we all have been an integral part of.
More Americans are going to college than ever before, but students face unprecedented challenges. Over 44 million Americans collectively hold more than $1.4 trillion in student loan debt and only 54.8 percent of students graduate in six years. This means that millions of Americans are taking on thousands of dollars in debt, without even a diploma to show for it.
When you donate to HC4A, you become part of a powerful mission—to break down barriers, create opportunities, and build a brighter future for students across Central Texas. Together, we can ensure every child has the chance to learn, thrive, and succeed.
Make your impact today.
Give the financial edge and sustainable support these students need. Be the hero they’ll thank for years to come.
