Amplify Austin Results!

The Hispanic Scholarship Consortium was proud to participate in the second annual Amplify Austin. Amplify Austin, sponsored by I Live Here, I Give Here is a 24-hour online initiative to give back to non-profits in Central Texas. Last year, Amplify Austin raised over $2.8 million and set a goal to raise $4 million this year. With 496 non-profits joining together this year, we surpassed the goal and brought in $5.7 million. Prizes were given to organizations that raised the most dollars, had the most donors, and gathered the most fundraisers.

HSC set a goal to raise $5,000 through Amplify Austin, but even our goals were met and exceeded. Once the day was over, donors contributed over $8,900! In total, we were able to assist our scholars through providing additional scholarships and mentorship through our program.

All of this success could not have happened without the help of our committed staff. HSC began prepping for Amplify Austin as early as January, coordinating newsletters and social media posts to coincide with Amplify Austin. On Friday, March 21st, the entirety of our staff continued to promote Amplify Austin through calling donors, sending e-mails, and posting on social media.

An additional thank you to Mr. Ted Heaton, who provided the 2 Julio Iglesias concert tickets as our raffle contest prize. We appreciate his continued support to our organization. Congratulations to the winner, Miguel F.!
