Amplify Austin, March 6-7, 2024
Amplify Austin Day is the biggest giving event in Central Texas!
During a single 24 hour period, from 6 pm on March 6, to 6 pm on March 7, Austinites can come together to support more than 700 local non profit organizations by making a donation through the Amplify ATX giving platform. And, for any over achievers, you do not need to wait until March 1; early giving is open now.
How Can I Help Open Door During Amplify Austin?
GIVE
You can give to Open Door Preschool during Amplify by simply clicking this link or looking us up on the Amplify Austin Homepage. All funds raised will be allocated to our Helping Hands Fund to assist Open Door families in need of tuition assistance. The Open Door Village never wants economic struggles to shut the door on access to high quality early childhood education.
FOLLOW, LIKE AND SHARE
One of the biggest predictors of Amplify Austin Day success is social media presence and activity. PLEASE follow, like and share Open Door’s social media posts on Facebook and Instagram . You and your friends will love seeing pictures and stories of the cutest kids in Austin! Open Door Amplify posts will begin on Sunday, March 3.
FUNDRAISE
You can be an Amplify Austin fundraiser!! Spread the good word of Open Door and share our Amplify giving link with friends and family via email, text and social media. And, if you want to earn the ultimate gold star….you can set up your own Amplify Austin Giving Page and formally invite your circle of folks to support your passion for Open Door. Setting up a personal giving page is super easy and here is the guide to help with that.
