AUSTIN, Texas - This year's Amplify Austin Day is more important than ever as Central Texans are recovering from the February winter storm and still dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The region's busiest day of giving officially kicks off at 6 p.m. tonight (3/4) and goes on for 24 hours. You can donate to close to 700 local nonprofits that represent 19 different cause categories ranging from basic needs, disaster response, animal care & services, arts & culture, racial equity, and more.

I Live Here I Give Here says this year's goal for Amplify Austin Day is not just to raise critical funds but to double the participation from years prior to 60,000 unique individual donors.
