amplify Austin DAy | March 5-6, 2025

The biggest giving event in Central Texas.

Amplify Austin Day is I Live Here I Give Here’s signature program and the biggest giving event in Central Texas, raising $112.7 million for the local community since 2013. During a single 24-hour period, each year, in early March, residents across a seven-county region will come together to support more than 700 nonprofits by making a donation at AmplifyATX.org. 

On Amplify Austin Day, donors can make an impact on their collective community with a gift of $5 or more. The 700+ participating local nonprofits are organized into 19 Cause Categories to help donors find new organizations to support. From racial equity and civil rights, to those who serve animal care, children, and veterans, these cause categories engage everyone in mission-driven giving. As one donor said, “It’s THE day that energizes our community to give back.”
