Amplify Austin is our city’s biggest giving day taking place on March 5th-6th. It’s a powerful reminder that when we come togeher, we can create change. This year, we’re setting out to raise $50,000 to continue offering the comprehensive, personalized support that sets Breakthrough apart – whether it’s through summer enrichment programs or postsecondary counseling and career guidance.
Will you help us amplify breakthroughs for First-Gen students?
Here’s how you can help:
- Make a gift to our Breakthrough Amplify Page here. No donation is too small, and every gift brings us closer to our goal.
- Share the message! Help us spread the word! Share one of Breakthrough’s posts on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn with your personal message and encourage your friends to support Breakthrough.
- Become a Breakthrough Fundraising Champion! Create your own personal fundraising page to raise funds on our behalf. For more information, contact Kelly Wisniewski at Kelly@breakthroughctx.org, or click HERE and select the Fundraise Button to get started.

“I believe education is a fundamental right and a cause worth championing. I participate because I want to make a tangible difference in the lives of students and families. Amplify Austin provides a platform to amplify the impact of Breakthrough by mobilizing the community to support their important work financially and raise awareness about their mission.”
