The Nonprofit Community Needs Your Support During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Acts of generosity strengthen us, lift up our neighbors, and make us resilient.

On Amplify Austin Day, we saw this in action when the community came together to raise $12.3 million in unrestricted funds for 760 local nonprofit organizations. Together, YOU transformed the nonprofit landscape across Central Texas through giving, and YOU made a real, positive difference for your community. 

During this challenging and uncertain time, please continue to give to the local nonprofits that help our community stay safe and healthy and improve quality of life for all who call Central Texas home

I Live Here I Give Here stands with Central Texas nonprofits who diligently serve our most vulnerable. 

Visit AmplifyATX.org today to make a donation to any of our 760+ nonprofit members in Austin and across Central Texas.
