Amplify Austin Day Encourages Residents to Support 700+ Local Nonprofits
14th annual Amplify Austin Day celebration aims to raise $10 million in just 24 hours
Austin is ready to kick off a day of giving with a bang. From March 4 at 6 p.m. to March 5 at 6 p.m., Austinites have the chance to show up for their most beloved nonprofits through the 13th annual Amplify Austin Day, a fun and local generosity movement that engages the local community.
Since its inception in 2013, Amplify Austin Day has changed the way Central Texans think about giving back locally. The initiative has raised an impressive $112.7 million for 1,507 local nonprofits, demonstrating the power of collective giving. It’s true – everything really is bigger in Texas, including our hearts.
For Amplify Austin Day 2026, the initiative has a goal of raising $10 million for more than 700 nonprofits across its seven-county region. During the event, residents from Travis, Hays, Williamson, Burnet, Bastrop, Caldwell and Blanco counties can make a gift of $5 or more across 19 causes that are near and dear to their heart, including Racial Equity, Environment, Animals, Arts, Basic Needs, Children, Veterans and more. Plus, gifts can be matched and impacts can be increased when giving to a nonprofit with Amplify Austin Day matching incentives. Givers can choose up to 10 nonprofits to donate to in a single transaction. When residents give, it’s their vote of support for what they want to see more of in their community – and for a more prosperous, equitable and united future.
This year’s Amplify Austin Day sponsors include the Reissa Foundation, Cirrus Logic, Austin Community Foundation, Central Texas Community Foundation, Expedia, Lee & Roger Kintzel, and more.
Amplify Austin Day is led, organized, and executed by the nonprofit I Live Here I Give Here, which is on a mission to amplify giving in Central Texas through cultivating and creating deeper connections for givers and the issues they care about. Since 2007, I Live Here I Give Here has activated more than 200,000 Central Texans to help raise $140 Million. The nonprofit envisions a Central Texas where every community member is engaged in giving and makes giving opportunities accessible for Central Texans.
I Live Here I Give Here hopes Austinites of all ages and backgrounds feel encouraged to participate in the 2025 event. A gift of any size starting at just $5 makes a meaningful difference for a local nonprofit that addresses the community’s most pressing needs and helps the people, places and animals residents so dearly treasure. The support from this event helps the Austin community continue to thrive, and even the smallest of gifts add up to make a big impact, shaping a brighter future for the community that so many love to call home.
