An Eastside where local heritage is honored, small businesses thrive, and every resident is empowered to shape the future
Every number tells a story about empowerment, growth, and resilience.
Here’s how we measure success:
Eastside entrepreneurs supported with funding and mentorship
Of preserving culture while preparing for change
In economic activity driven by SAGE initiatives
Of partnerships formed to ensure growth benefits everyone
A Legacy of Showing Up for the Eastside
SAGE was founded to do more than drive economic development, we exist to ensure that growth honors the past and includes the people who built it.
Since 1998, we’ve worked to amplify the cultural, entrepreneurial,
and historic richness of San Antonio’s Eastside. From supporting
Black-owned businesses to preserving historic buildings, SAGE
has always put people, pride, and place at the center of our work.
Behind every program and partnership is a team of advocates, strategists, and neighbors committed to seeing the Eastside thrive. Meet the people leading the charge—and learn how you can be part of it.
