New Structure of APIE
Austin Partners in Education began in 1983 in response to a need to involve more businesses, individuals and community organizations in the success of AISD students. It was also recognized that student success benefited our entire community. A partnership between the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce and the Austin Independent School District was formed with this goal in mind.
APIE has undergone an important reorganization effective June 1, 2004. Under this new structure, APIE will enhance its stature and fund-raising capability by becoming a legal entity under the Texas Uniform Unincorporated Non-Profit Association (TUUNA) Act. In addition, APIE will obtain a tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code.
Austin Independent School District (AISD) and the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce (GACC) led the process of establishing the new organization and they retain certain governance powers. A Board of Directors governs the business, properties, and affairs of the Association.
Our offices are located in space graciously donated by Crescent Properties, Inc. at 701 Brazos, Suite 480. |
