Strategic Partners
Strategic Partners are integral to Glimmer Austin’s mission, representing a select group of larger grant recipients with whom we maintain multiple, close working relationships. These partnerships go beyond financial support; they involve deep collaboration and continuous engagement with their leadership teams.
