Amplify Austin is an annual, 24-hour city-wide charity donation campaign aimed to encourage businesses and individuals to give to organizations that support our community.

For the past handful of years, Status Labs has made donations during Amplify Austin and encouraged the larger Austin-based team at the company to personally find organizations and causes that matter to them to contribute to as well.
