For more than 20 years, Breakthrough Central Texas has walked alongside first-gen students — helping them grow, learn, and dream.
We’ve witnessed more than 500 students become the first in their families to earn a college degree or certificate. Today, 3,700 students are following in their footsteps. Each success lifts an entire community — siblings dream bigger, parents celebrate with pride, and families see what’s possible.
Your gift today can provide Breakthrough students:
- Academic enrichment, career guidance, leadership development
- Comprehensive individualized advising
- High-quality postsecondary counseling services
- Holistic support for mental health and basic needs
Right now, your gift can go twice as far, thanks to a generous $100,000 match from the Moody Foundation. Every dollar you give will be matched dollar for dollar to support Breakthrough students.
As we look ahead, we imagine a future where our community grows with us — doubling the students we serve and tripling the number of first-generation college graduates through our Pathways to Opportunity Campaign.
This holiday season, your generosity can open doors to opportunity and a brighter future. Give Today.

“It’s helped my entire family — my brother is a Breakthrough grad, and my mom even went back to school. She’s now on her way to becoming a registered nurse. So when I hear that Breakthrough is expanding to serve 3,000 more students through its Pathways to Opportunity Campaign, I just think — that’s transformational. Because this program doesn’t just change individual lives — it changes an entire family forever.”

Remember Breakthrough in Your Will
Interested in helping students realize their college dreams beyond your lifetime? Structure your will to provide for your family first; then include a gift to the charitable organizations you love. A simple sentence and meeting with an estate planning attorney are all it takes. The following is an example of wording that may be used to name Breakthrough as a beneficiary of your last will and testament. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate.
“I, [name], of [city, state, zip], give, devise and bequeath to Breakthrough, [federal tax ID #74-2991346], [written amount or percentage of estate] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”
