What is Amplify Austin Day?

Amplify Austin Day, hosted by I Live Here I Give Here, is our city's annual day of giving, which will take place on February 28 at 6 PM - March 1 at 6 PM on AmplifyATX.org.

The 24-hour period provides an easy and fun way for our entire community to give together, while also helping local nonprofits. In 2018, the city raised over $10 MM for 700 local nonprofits. Over the past six years, Amplify Austin has raised $45 MM for hundreds of local organizations.

From Animal Care to Health Services, you can choose from a wide variety of causes and nonprofits to support. Whether you choose to support one local organization or many, your donation helps make our city sustainable and vibrant for all.
