Our Partner Program

ATACO at the Heart — Powered by a Family of Brands

At the center of everything we do is the Austin Take A Chance Organization (ATACO) — our nonprofit dedicated to giving LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing displacement the essentials, resources, and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives.

But ATACO doesn’t work alone. It’s fueled by a network of ventures under Group 404, each one designed to create sustainable funding, flexible jobs, and skill-building opportunities that flow right back into our mission.

How It Works

  1. ATACO Leads the Mission – We meet people where they are, providing immediate help (meals, essentials, connections) and long-term opportunities.

  2. Our Brands Create the Jobs & Funding – Step Bros Cleaning & Services, Enter Spaces, and future Group 404 projects generate income, skills, and work experience for people in ATACO’s network.

  3. Partnerships Keep the Cycle Going – Businesses, individuals, and organizations partner with us to amplify our reach, increase our resources, and grow the number of lives changed.
