Welcome to Giving DuPage

 

 

 

Commit to connecting with a new cause. Check out the hundreds of opportunities with local agencies.

Here are some of the things Giving DuPage does:

 

 

 

Clearinghouse - our website features an interactive volunteer match with volunteer and donation opportunities at a variety of DuPage County non-profit organizations.  Discover an opportunity just right for you!  You can also look at the tool bar on the left side of this page for other helpful information on philanthropy and volunteerism.

DuPage Remembers and Gives... Days of Volunteerism - Thank you to all who participated in volunteer projects during the weekend of September 11 and 12.  We want to acknowledge the following groups that have participated in DuPage Remembers and Gives...Days of Volunteerism since its inception in 2002:  UPS, Hall Erickson, Inc., Flexco, Oxford Bank and the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints.  A huge thank you to our generous sponsors!  See some of our volunteers in action

Volunteer Recruitment Fair was held at Cantigny Park on Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13 from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.  We had amazing weather and more than 35 agencies spoke to potential volunteers about the work they do over the two day event.  THANKS to the agencies who spent their glorious weekend at the Fair and thanks to those who came out to learn more about volunteering. The Daily Herald helped Giving DuPage acknowledge all who made the weekend possible. Mark your calendar for this year's Fair.  It wil be held on September 25 from 10-4 p.m. at Cantigny Park.  We will share the day with the popular Green Fair!    

Annual Giving Guide -is at sites throughout the County.  Thousands were distributed at the Volunteer Recruitment Fair at Cantigny on September 12 and 13.  Pick up one at the entrance of the County administration building (421 N. County Farm Road in Wheaton) or at one of multiple locations throughout the County.  View the new Guide.

NEWS: 

 

If you'd like to help the relief efforts in Haiti, consider making a donation to an organization that has been designated a four-star charity by Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator.  Here are some of the four star charities that are providing relief to earthquake victims in Haiti: Direct Relief InternationalDoctors Without Borders, USAAmeriCares, or Hope for Haiti.  

January is a great time to start volunteering as many resolve to start positive new habits.  Since volunteering is tied to positive emotional, physical and mental health, resolving to volunteering is like resolving to better health.  Can you find an opportunity to serve throughout the year?

Please keep in mind that from the comfort of your home, office or public library, you can search for ongoing opportunities through this website. Search for ongoing opportunities countywide.

Need help to meet your basic needs?  Go to C.R.I.S. for a list of social service agencies in our community that can provide assistance.
