TM&T Charity Page

The Austin Models & Talent Agency, along with members of the Texas Models & Talent Forum, actively support and participate in many non-profit fund raising and charity events in and around the State of Texas. Our goal is to not only provide our time and resources, but to make an impact toward any individual or organization that is helping children, animals, or other worthwhile causes.

If you are a photographer who would like to provide a few hours of your time on occassion toward doing something that helps out others, contact us. If you are a model or an actor and would like to help out, feel free to contact us as well.

We have organized and/or participated in a number of charity events and fund raising and/or awareness activities (see some of the organizations listed above). At Christmas 2005, we adopted a family and helped them financially with things that they were needing - including furniture and a Christmas tree. More recently, photographer Becky Stienhour and Austin Models & Talent Agency members collected clothing and food items for a family who lost everything in a house fire. We have also helped needy models and actors by purchasing for them comp cards and headshot printing, as well as helped to send aspiring actors and actresses to acting classes with funds raised by donation.

WE ALSO HELP TO PROVIDE MODELS AND TALENT DIRECTLY TO CLIENTS SPONSORING OR ASSISTING IN NON-PROFIT AND CHARITY ORIENTED VENTURES.

VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE!

Join us this year as we embark in our biggest charity oriented adventure ever:
