I Live Here I Give Here's signature program, Amplify Austin Day, offers every community member the opportunity to make a lasting impact. As a business fundraiser, you empower your employees to give back to the community where they live, love, work, and play. Your company can also boost employee giving by offering matching dollars during Amplify Austin Day. The AmplifyATX.org platform provides an easy, fun, and efficient way for your entire company to help local nonprofits.

The support of local businesses is integral to Amplify Austin Day's success. In 2024, Business Fundraisers raised $1.18M for local nonprofits!

Since 2013, this annual event has raised over $112.7 million dollars, making it the biggest giving event in Central Texas. During a single 24-hour period, from 6pm on March 5th, to 6pm on March 6th, residents across a seven-county region will come together to support 700+ nonprofits by making a donation through the platform, AmplifyATX.org.
