As a reminder, you must fill out the registration survey (View/Edit Survey tab) and complete your company profile (Edit Profile tab) before your registration is approved and your Company Giving Page is published. You will receive an email notification when your registration is approved. Company Giving Pages will start going live on January 28.

When you fill out the Registration Survey, you will be asked about corporate matching. As an optional feature of your Company Giving Page, if your company has a corporate matching program, you can boost employee giving by offering matching dollars during Amplify Austin Day. Matching funds are a great way to show your support for Amplify Austin Day and are especially motivating when your employees see their dollars going further and having greater impact.

When you fill out the Registration Survey, you can specify your company's matching parameters (ie, dollar-for-dollar with an employee max of $100) and how you plan to distribute your matching funds.

You can provide matching funds in two ways:

1. Distribute the Match Yourself: This option is ideal for companies that have existing matching platforms, such as Benevity or YourCause. In this case, you can either have employees submit their match request after they've made their donation on AmplifyATX.org, or you can access a report of your company's donations and enter the matches into your platform after the day is over. You will have access to a real-time report of all your company's donations as a way to verify your employee's donations.
2. I Live Here I Give Here Can Distribute the Match: This option is ideal for companies that do not have a matching platform and would still like to be able to provide a match for their employees' donations. I Live Here I Give Here will calculate your total match amount, bill you for the amount, and then distribute your company match according to the nonprofits your employees have designated and any match guidelines provided.
   
   Having I Live Here I Give Here distribute your company’s match directly to nonprofits saves you time and ensures funds reach the community quickly. A 7% administration fee applies when we distribute your match. I Live Here I Give Here is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 90-647614, and the full amount is tax-deductible.

After completing your Registration Survey in GiveGab, you can navigate to the Business Info tab to fill in your company's information. This is where you can upload your Logo and the Cover Photo that will be shown on your Company Giving Page. If you do not provide a Cover Photo, your Company Giving Page will use the default Amplify Austin Day image.

If you have participated in the past, verify the information is still correct.

Complete the following steps to set up your Company Giving Page.

Note: If you've participated in Amplify Austin Day before, you can copy over content and settings from the profile you created for a previous giving day. You can edit your profile afterwards to ensure it represents your company correctly on your public Company Giving Page.

1. Navigate to the Giving Days tab, select Amplify Austin Day 2026, and use the Edit Profile tab to share your company's why for Amplify Austin Day.
2. If you have a specific donation goal (dollar amount) or goal for number of donor participating, indicate those in the Goal Type and Goal Amount fields. 
3. In the Tell Your Story section, let the community and your employees know what your company cares about. Share why your company participates, share any nonprofits that your company would love to have your employees' support, and provide any specific instructions for your employees about securing their company match, if applicable.
4. The Donation Form Question allows you to add a company-specific question to the checkout process for your employees only. For example, if you want to gather the employee's work email, you could ask for it in that field. This allows you to quickly verify all donors are employees when looking at the donation report for your company. This can be helpful in a case where an employee's partner or spouse makes donations using their name and personal email address.
5. Click Save to complete your Company Giving Page content.
6. To access your page, use the URL in the Share Your Amplify Austin Day 2026 Page! field. When telling your employees about your Company Giving Page, please use this URL. When you use this URL, your company will auto populate in the company field during checkout. That should save your employees a step during the checkout process.
