== Charter/Mission ==

Our Mission is simple: To create social good through bootstrapping.

The Cause Subgroup exists as a powerful source of energy, knowledge, experience, and inspiration for, and a community of, socially minded bootstrap entrepreneurs and leaders.

The cause subgroup of Bootstrap Austin seeks to support a community of individuals interested in using the bootstrap methodology to turn their ideas into strong, productive socially entrepreneurial organizations. This community will act as a foundation by which its members may more fully develop their ideas then develop and provide services. This foundation will allow the functionality of members' organizations to grow unencumbered by outside funding sources. Through the nonprofit subgroup, a myriad of resources will become available to members as the group grows in size and as the individuals develop their expertise. Also, through the subgroup's connection with the larger bootstrap group, cross-pollination may occur to generate unexpected and exciting ideas and possibilities.

Non profits are welcomed to participate how ever this group in not about making better non profits. It is purely entrepreneurialy focused.

Prominent bootstrap founders are calling for the integration of non/for-profit ventures. These include:

===Detailed Description===

The Bootstrap Homeless initiative is part of a vision to provide supportive housing and entrepreneurial development for the homeless and working poor. This vision also includes networking among the homeless, the working poor, nonprofit organizations, faith communities, and the Austin marketplace in order to work towards mutually beneficial relationships.

Bootstrap Homeless centers on working with the homeless and working poor to discover their potential and rise above their current status by harnessing the power of capitalism to create solutions to social problems.

The basic premise behind this is that life on the streets provides greater experiential training in entrepreneurship than most MBA programs. Bootstrap Homeless taps into this great resource in order to create an organic, vibrant, and dynamic network where the homeless and working poor are given a chance to create a better life for themselves and their community.
