The Little School Doing Big Things

Mainspring is a lean nonprofit that is changing young lives at the grassroots level and improving Austin’s future. It is a community effort supported by individuals, partners, grantors, and sponsors who believe that high-quality early childhood education and a two-generation approach to breaking cycles of poverty should be a priority in our society.

We are all stewards of this long-standing mission and the respected organization behind it. We believe in full transparency so that our community sees the work that happens at Mainspring and the status of the organization that they support through donations, volunteer service, advocacy, and encouragement. We are pleased to share our most recent annual report, auditor’s report, and IRS form 990.
