Amplify Austin
Central Texas’ community-wide giving campaign supporting local nonprofits through AmplifyATX.org.
Amplify Austin is I Live Here I Give Here’s signature giving campaign, bringing Central Texans together to discover and support the local nonprofits making our community stronger.
Since 2013, our community has raised more than $130 million for local nonprofits through Amplify Austin. Each year, hundreds of organizations across seven Central Texas counties come together on AmplifyATX.org, making it easy to find a cause you care about, discover a new nonprofit, and give—all in one place.
And in 2027, there’s even more time to take part. Early Giving opens January 28, followed by 36 hours of giving from March 3 at 8 AM through March 4 at 8 PM.

For Individuals and Families
Make a Donation
Give in minutes while keeping your impact local. AmplifyATX.org lets donors support up to ten nonprofits in one transaction, making it easy to back multiple causes without multiple checkouts. Donors can also choose the ILHIGH Amplify Fund during checkout, where funds are shared among all 700 nonprofits.
Become a Fundraiser
Turn personal support into collective momentum. Fundraising Champions create a personalized page for a nonprofit or cause category on AmplifyATX.org, then invite friends, family, and coworkers to give alongside them. In 2026, 1,858 individuals raised more than $1.3M for local nonprofits through personal fundraising pages.
For Businesses
Become a Giveback Partner
Giveback Partners help extend Amplify Austin Day beyond the donation page and into the places people already love. Local businesses can participate in two ways: share a percentage of sales or offer a small treat or perk as a thank-you to donors. Donors redeem offers by showing their AmplifyATX.org donation receipt, making it simple to celebrate generosity while inviting new customers through the door.

Inspire Employees to Give Back
Company Giving Pages create a shared giving experience for teams and customers. Companies can invite people to donate to the nonprofits they care about most, then watch the collective impact in real time and learn what causes matter to employees. In 2026, employees and customers of 43 companies raised $1.6M of the overall total.
Sponsor the Day and Fuel the Movement
Sponsorships power both impact and infrastructure. More than half of every sponsorship dollar directly supports Central Texas nonprofits through the Amplify Fund, while the rest helps fund the technology, storytelling, and operations that make generosity easier year-round. Sponsorship also puts a brand in front of a 65K+ audience and helps activate the matches and prizes that inspire thousands of donors to give directly to local nonprofits.
For Nonprofits
3. Activate New Donors and Visibility
Amplify Austin Day is built for discovery. Nonprofits are organized into cause categories that help donors find new organizations, and the campaign drives region-wide attention through marketing and media that brings new supporters onto the platform. In 2026, 34% of donors reported their gift as a first-time donation, creating real potential for long-term donor growth.

The training library is built to support nonprofits at every stage, whether the goal is to refine the story, mobilize fundraisers, or boost donor conversion.
