Rodriguez, Immediate Past Chair President & CEO Cowen | Rodriguez | Peacock [email protected] Ty Sheehan, Board Vice-Chair [email protected] Hornberger Fuller & Garza Incorporated Confluence Park | Vanessa Velazquez Photography Friends and Neighbors, The momentum for San Antonio’s Community Vision has never been stronger. Nearly ten years ago, close to 6,000 San Antonians created a shared vision for the community. This vision, defined by eleven Community Results, outlined multiple goals to be reached by the year 2020. In order to guide this decade-long strategic vision into action, SA2020, an independent, nonprofit organization, was created in 2012. Today, San Antonio is the only large city in the country that has a shared community vision written by the people who call the city home, a separate nonprofit holding the community accountable to that vision (that’s SA2020!), and more than 160 multi-sector organizations aligning their work to move the needle on Community Results. We share this a lot because we are exceptionally proud of San Antonio. So…what happens in the year 2020? (We know you’ve been thinking it.) We continue working together. We think about San Antonio’s future, dreaming of what can be; we track and map the community’s progress, prioritizing goals; and we continue to work collaboratively and intentionally toward the shared Community Vision. SA2020, the nonprofit, drives progress toward San Antonio’s Community Vision by: 1. Reporting on San Antonio’s progress by tracking and analyzing 62 community indicators prioritized by you. We work with our data partner, CI:Now, to disaggregate nearly three-quarters of these indicators by race, gender, age, and place in order to tell a more complete story of San Antonio’s progress and identify opportunities for targeted interventions. 2. Engaging and activating the community to lead change through storytelling, data visualization, resource sharing, and public events. 3. Aligning multi-sector organizations toward the shared vision. In the last year, SA2020 partnerships have grown across nonprofits, foundations, education institutions, corporations, and government by 20% to more than 160 organizations. A system map of our Partners can be found at bit.ly/sa2020ecosystem. And the work is not done. This year, Team SA2020 will lead the most ambitious community engagement process the community has ever seen in order to reaffirm and strengthen San Antonio’s Community Vision. And we need your help to make that happen. Together, we can shape the community’s future and increase participation among San Antonians all across the city. What do you want to see changed or improved in the next ten years? What do you want to see maintained or preserved? What are you willing to do to make these things happen? How can you create the greatest impact toward San Antonio’s Community Vision? In this report, we provide the information you need to see where San Antonio needs to double down efforts and how we all might learn from the progress already made. Every year, our nonprofit produces a Community Impact Report so individuals and organizations can celebrate San Antonio’s successes (even incremental progress), understand the complex challenges that persist, and shift policies, resources, and services toward where the community needs them the most. SA2020 will always drive progress toward the Community Vision. The work doesn’t stop; neither will San Antonio’s progress. Let’s do this. Together. - Team 03 • SA2020 2019 Impact Report Hemisfair | SA2020 Photo CONTENT Letter from Team SA2020 | 03 SA2020 Partners | 07 Overview | 10 Call to Action | 11 Indicator Snapshot | 12 How to Read this Report | 14 Arts & Culture | 15 Civic Engagement | 23 Community Safety | 31 Downtown Development | 41 Economic Competitiveness | 47 Education | 57 Environmental Sustainability | 67 Family Well-Being | 75 Health & Fitness | 85 Neighborhoods | 95 Transportation | 103 Measures & Methodologies | 109 Special Thanks Data Partner | CI:Now | cinow.info Report Designed by Melissa Burnett, SA2020 Board Member Vanessa Velazquez Photography | vanessavelazquez.com 05 • SA2020 2019 Impact Report Courtesy Photo | Brighton Center SA2020 PARTNERS SA2020 Partners are integral to San Antonio's progress.

  • In Our Community Creating Bright Spots of Hope
    Annual Report 2020 Creating Bright Spots of Hope in our Community Impact San Antonio members watch a demonstration of San Antonio Clubhouse’s new hydroponic garden funded by a 2018 High Impact Grant. The hydroponic farming system provides recovery-oriented volunteer opportunities for Clubhouse members with mental health challenges. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As I reflect on this most unusual year of challenges, I was heartened by the depth of caring and generosity coming from our members, sponsors and other supporters that allowed us to continue our legacy of making transformational grants to outstanding local nonprofits. Here are some highlights of what we accomplished as a dedicated team of women coming together with a shared purpose of helping our community: • $490,000 in grants awarded to 10 nonprofits • First time we awarded 6 High Impact Grants at $75,000 each • Over $4.2 million awarded since 2005 • 580 women stepping up to support our community • Adjustments to our grant guidelines that acknowledged the new health and financial stresses nonprofits were facing • Ability to pivot to virtual operations to keep us all safe during the pandemic As a significant funder of grants to local nonprofits, it’s important to us that the community knows we’re here as an enduring resource. It’s also important that we spread the word to warmhearted, civic minded women to join us. The more of us who come together, the bigger the impact we can make. 2021 holds the promise of life slowly returning to normal, but there will still be many who need help to get through the day and rebuild their lives.

Now, the university has unveiled a strategic plan that will take it to the next level as a premier public research institution. 22 The Millennials Go to College Extra-long twin sheet set? Check. Desk lamp? Check. Mom and Dad? Check. This generation of college students is arriving on campus with something extra in tow—their very involved parents. Read how UTSA’s Family Orientation helps parents make the transition when their children head to college. 26 The Black Madonna In her new book, Associate Professor Malgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba explores the iconography and function of the Black Madonna—often seen as a symbol of national identity, resistance against oppression and female empowerment— around the world. In this excerpt, read about the similarities between Our Lady of Czestochowa in the author’s native Poland and the Virgin of Guadalupe, her counterpart in the American Southwest and Mexico. DEPARTMENTS 5 In the Loop UTSA welcomes the second class of Terry Scholars; high school students spend the sum- mer interning in the College of Engineering; President’s Dinner raises $4.6 million; Homecoming events planned; and more campus news. 12 Investigations Undergraduates investigate differences in health care and health status in South Texas; historic preservation expert joins College of Architecture; psychologist studies the language of pain; and UTSA leads nanoscience consortium.
