Company Giving Pages

Every year, we help businesses set up Company Giving Pages for Amplify Austin Day. These companies commit to encouraging their employees and/or customers to give during Amplify Austin Day. Last year, companies contributed over $1.3M of the total raised. Over half of these companies are matching their employees' donations! You can check out the Company Giving Pages on AmplifyATX.org.

Don’t forget to remind your donors about company matching programs!

Only Two Weeks Left in the Campaign

There’s only two weeks left until the final 24 hours of Amplify Austin Day! Here are some things you need to consider:

1. Have you started your campaign? If not, now is the time. Give your donors time to respond to your emails, calls, texts, and social posts by starting as soon as possible!

2. Check in with your peer to peer fundraisers (Fundraising Champions) to see if they need any support. If you don’t have anyone signed up as a Fundraising Champion, you can still do that!

3. Submit any offline donations to I Live Here I Give Here by 1 pm on March 3. 

4. Review your scheduled communications for the next two weeks. You should plan to increase your communication about Amplify Austin Day as we get closer to March 4-5. Your supporters should be hearing from you multiple times and on multiple channels over the next two weeks.

5. Make sure a link to your Amplify Austin Day profile is on your organization’s website.
