Staying informed about the latest local news in the Austin metropolitan area is essential to understanding the impact of nonprofit organizations in the region. From the Independent School District to the City Council, there are many developments and transportation updates that can affect the local community. At Amplify Austin Day and I Live Here I Give Here, we are proud to support tens of thousands of donors who come together to donate to their favorite non-profit organizations or to new causes that matter to them. We encourage you to look for organizations that align with your passions and values.
While I Live Here I Give Here verifies the charitable status of all non-profit organizations participating in Amplify Austin Day, ILHIGH does not select or select organizations based on their charitable purposes or missions. Eligibility is based on the provision of services in our area and on the organization's current status as a recognized public charity under Section 501 (c), 3, tax-exempt. Therefore, the approval of an organization's participation does not constitute an approval of the organization or its mission by I Live Here I Give Here or any of our partners. Each non-profit page provides the organization's mission, not detailed information about all of its programs. For your additional research, each non-profit organization's page also includes a link to their website to provide you with more detailed information about the organization's mission and the use of its funds.
You will immediately receive a thank you and a receipt for your charitable contributions, which you must print for tax purposes. When you select a specific non-profit organization to receive your donation, your donation is restricted to that organization and will not be delivered to any other non-profit organization. Your donation will be in the hands of your non-profit organizations within 10 business days. United Way for Greater Austin unites the community around collective goals, invests strategically in partners, and executes proven programs that make a real difference for children and families. Something special happens when we live together.
