Learn how Rally Austin’s unique structure creates opportunities for meaningful collaboration across sectors.
Austin’s biggest challenges require collaborative solutions. Rally Austin exists because no single entity—whether government, private business, or nonprofit—can tackle affordability and cultural preservation alone.

Who We Partner With

Property Owners and Developers

You have real estate assets that could serve the community while generating stable returns. Rally Austin helps structure deals that preserve affordability, support local businesses, and create cultural spaces. We bring public funding, tax incentives, and community engagement expertise to projects that might otherwise struggle with financing or community support.

Partnership Examples:

  • Long-term ground leases for affordable commercial space
  • Joint development of mixed-use projects with community benefits
  • Historic preservation projects with cultural programming

Public Entities & Leaders

City departments, school districts, and other public entities have underutilized assets and shared goals around community development. Rally Austin moves at the speed of business while maintaining public accountability, helping you achieve policy goals through innovative partnerships.

Partnership Examples:

  • Surplus property development for community benefit
  • Interlocal agreements for workforce housing projects
  • Joint applications for federal and state funding programs

Cultural Organizations & Venues

Music venues, theaters, galleries, and cultural nonprofits need stable, affordable space to thrive. Rally Austin’s Cultural Trust helps secure long-term leases, provides capital improvements, and creates sustainable operating models for Austin’s creative community.

Partnership Examples:

  • 20-year lease negotiations at below-market rates
  • Capital improvement loans for venue upgrades
  • Shared programming and marketing support

Community Leaders & Advocates

Neighborhood associations, advocacy groups, and grassroots organizations know what their communities need. Rally Austin provides the technical expertise and financial resources to turn community visions into reality through genuine engagement and shared decision-making.

Partnership Examples:

  • Community-driven development planning processes
  • Resident leadership development and capacity building
  • Equity-focused project evaluation and oversight
