GiveBastrop.com: A Local Giving and Support Marketplace
GiveBastrop.com is more than a website—it’s a virtual town square. Created to connect residents with local causes, services, and businesses, the platform functions as a directory, resource hub, and fundraising tool. Whether you’re a nonprofit seeking support, a resident in need, or a small business owner trying to grow your reach, GiveBastrop.com offers a space where the community can come together and lift each other up.

Local organizations can create profiles, share their missions, and collect donations through streamlined online tools. Residents can explore volunteer opportunities, contribute to causes they care about, or find reliable community services in just a few clicks. The result is a more engaged, interconnected Bastrop—one that supports its own.









FilmBastropCounty.com: Putting Bastrop on the Creative Map
With the launch of FilmBastropCounty.com, Keep Us Strong, LLC is helping to position Bastrop County as a rising star in Texas’ booming film and media industry. The site serves as a showcase for Bastrop’s unique filming locations, production resources, and creative talent, making it easier than ever for filmmakers to bring their visions to life here.

FilmBastropCounty.com also acts as a bridge between the creative industry and the local economy—highlighting how film productions can benefit everything from restaurants and lodging to equipment rentals and local crew. Through this initiative, Keep Us Strong is attracting new investment to the region while supporting homegrown creatives and small businesses.

The site serves as a one-stop destination for residents and visitors alike to explore, shop, and support the heartbeat of the community.
 
ShopBastropCounty.com isn’t just about convenience—it’s about connection. By promoting local shopping and community engagement, the platform helps strengthen the local economy, boost small business visibility, and preserve the unique culture that makes Bastrop County special. It’s a powerful tool for encouraging economic resilience while celebrating the stories behind the storefronts. Just like its sister site FilmBastropCounty.com, this initiative is part of a larger vision: building a thriving, inclusive Bastrop County where local commerce, creativity, and community spirit intersect. Through strategic support and innovative outreach, Keep Us Strong, LLC is laying the groundwork for sustainable growth—one purchase, one connection, one small business at a time.

By creating platforms that serve both the creative economy and the social good, Keep Us Strong is proving that economic development doesn’t have to mean sacrificing community values. On the contrary—it can amplify them.
