Austin Marathon Gives Charity Program
About Austin Marathon Gives
The Austin Marathon Gives program connects nonprofit organizations with runners who want their miles to make a difference. Each year, selected Official Charities have the opportunity to inspire participants to fundraise and raise awareness, turning race day into a powerful celebration of giving back to Central Texas.
Becoming an Official Charity is more than a partnership—it’s a recognition of the vital role your organization plays in our community. Charities are chosen for their meaningful impact and commitment to service, and together, we create opportunities for runners to add deeper purpose to their training and race day experience.
Over the past 10 years, Austin Marathon Gives has helped raise more than $5.5 million for Central Texas nonprofits and has also provided a way for charities to come together and volunteer hundreds of hours in support of the event. This spirit of teamwork not only strengthens the race but also highlights the collective power of our nonprofit community.
We are proud to honor and highlight the important work of our Official Charities each year and invite participants to join in supporting their missions.
