Giving DuPage

Welcome to Giving DuPage

Our mission is to promote giving and volunteering in DuPage County. We are an award-winning public/private collaboration connecting donors and volunteers with their favorite local charities. At Giving DuPage, you can learn about volunteer opportunities at local non-profits and discover helpful tips on volunteering and giving.

We don’t promote any particular organization or cause. We just want to help you get involved in your community! Celebrate National Volunteer Week (April 27-May 3,2008) by getting connected with a cause!

Here are some of the things we do:

The seventh annual DuPage Remembers and Gives...A Weekend of Volunteerism will take place Friday, September 12 through Sunday September 14, 2008. The planning committee has begun putting pieces in place for a Corporate Day of Volunteerism on September 12 and a Community Day of Volunteerism on September 13 with a local Volunteer Fair planned on the beautiful grounds of Cantigny Park from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on both Saturday, September 13, and Sunday, September 14. We hope the Volunteer Fair will provide a one-stop opportunity for volunteers to become aware of all of the ways they can get involved in serving the community year-round. Mark your calendar to participate in these county-wide days of service and to meet and learn about dozens of non-profit organizations at one great outdoor Volunteer Fair. Watch this website for event specifics coming soon!
