We're excited to announce our Philanthropic Leader of the Year, Patsy Woods Martin, who will be honored at this year's Austin Gives Awards! Patsy has made a monumental impact on Austin's philanthropic community as the founder of I Live Here, I Give Here, where she served as Executive Director for six years and continues to serve on the Board of Directors. In 2012, I Live Here, I Give Here launched the successful 24-hour giving period, Amplify Austin.
