Giving Back
Circuit of The Americas is proud to be part of the Greater Austin community, and the Circuit team is committed to giving back to our neighbors and the wonderful people, places and organizations that make Central Texas a great place to live, work and play. Whether it’s using our state-of-the-art racing and entertainment venue available for community activities, working with local schools and universities on educational partnerships, or participating in local fund-raising and other worthy causes, Circuit of The Americas looks forward to making a difference in the region we call “home.” And through Circuit-hosted events, we hope to have a positive impact on the local economy and regional tourism industry.
OUR PHILANTHROPIC PRIORITIES
While we make every attempt to accommodate as many organizations as possible, the sheer volume of requests dictates that we must use a lottery-based award system. Organizations and beneficiaries that fit our annual designated causes receive additional priority weighting. This mandate is updated annually. Circuit of The America’s 2013 priority beneficiaries are institutions and organizations that focus on meeting the needs of U.S. veterans and military families, individuals with disabilities and medical research.
SUSTAINABILITY
Being a good neighbor and minimizing our impact on the environment is also a top priority for Circuit of The Americas. Our venue is the first purpose-built Formula One™ racing facility to become a member of the Green Sports Alliance, a non-profit organization made up of more than 40 professional and collegiate sports teams and nearly 90 sports venues with a mission to help enhance their environmental performance. By sharing best practices, members have saved millions of dollars through energy and water conservation, waste reduction, recycling and composting in order to maximize their respective sustainability efforts. Circuit of The Americas shares Austin's commitment to the highest standard of environmental stewardship and aim to deploy the kind of innovative best practices our community is known for to achieve high-performance sustainability at our world-class facility.
