Amplify Austin Event

What is Amplify Austin?

While year-round giving keeps the roof over dogs, gifts made on Amplify Austin Day are matched by generous sponsors to make your donation go even further.

As a private shelter, we run entirely on donations, grants and fundraisers. Amplify Austin is our biggest fundraiser every the year that covers the bulk of our expenses for HLCR rescues.

What makes Amplify special is that every donation can help us win a prize! Our supporters have helped us win the Early Giving Prize in 2022 and 2023!

How It Works

An HLCR contact will call and ask you about your love of dogs or if you have a rescue, for their story.
She’ll ask you to text or email her a picture of you, your family and/or your dog.
She’ll use this to build your personal Amplify profile online.
When the time comes, she’ll send you pre-written emails to share with your contacts.
Email, text, or share on social media with your contacts asking them to make a donation. This email will include a link to your personal Amplify page which your contacts can use to donate.
After two weeks: Send a reminder email to your people. Life is busy, they forget!
On Amplify Day, March 6-7: Send out a final ask to make the biggest difference.

Amplify Austin is a critical period that makes a massive difference in HLCR’s ability to rescue animals. Much of our budget comes from Amplify fundraising. The more fundraisers, the bigger opportunities to raise these more funds that allow HLCR continue the mission.
