I Live Here I Give Here\u2019s annual Amplify Austin Day<\/a> \u2014 a fundraising effort that encourages Central Texas residents to give back to nearly 800 local nonprofits over a 24-hour period \u2014 starts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 4 through 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 5.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works: Folks search for a nonprofit or category \u2014 think animal services, healthcare, arts, environmentalism, and much more \u2014 they\u2019re passionate about and donate at least $5.
