@HannaKessler it’s not too surprising that we did a lot better than last year given we’re a much more known now than we were a year ago. Last year’s Fundraising Champions raised about $1.6K collectively whereas this year’s FCs raised almost $4k collectively (that alone is close to what our final total was last year).
The company matches and Amplify Fund contributions are extremely significant in the Amplify Austin fundraiser – they accounted for $8.4K this year. That aspect is why we put a lot of attention and effort into this fundraiser since it is a major city-wide event with a ton of participating companies/organizations providing ways to amplify donations.
