AAA Better Government Fund (BGF)

WHAT IS THE BETTER GOVERNMENT FUND?  

The Better Government Fund (BGF) is an industry defense fund that supports specific initiatives aimed at strengthening the apartment industry in the Greater Austin area.   

Established in 2016, the BGF is a vital resource that plays a crucial role in providing timely support for research, legal services, public affairs, coalition building, advocacy, and related initiatives.  In addition, the BGF supports efforts to develop potential future elected officials by cultivating future-focused leaders.

Over the past 10 years, contributions to the BGF have been invested in projects such as:  

• Imagine Austin – Evolve Coalition
