What a year! What a day! As I reflect on what we accomplished on Amplify Austin Day this year, I am reminded of the rollercoaster that was 2020. In addition to the devastation and uncertainty caused by the pandemic, we faced an unpredictable economy – which made planning and forecasting for our giving day very difficult.

We broke all kinds of records on Amplify Austin Day this year, raising more than $12.5 million for area nonprofits and increasing the number of donors by 31% – and the following nonprofits and businesses certainly had a hand in that success!
