Giving DuPage’s mission is to promote giving and volunteering in DuPage County. They coordinate several volunteer-related programs throughout DuPage. Giving DuPage offers countless opportunities for individuals, families, businesses, faith-based organizations, and many others with opportunities to give back and help make a difference as they volunteer in DuPage County
The Giving DuPage volunteer portal helps connect volunteers to organizations
Through filters on the volunteer portal webpage, anyone can find the volunteer opportunity that’s right for them. This portal also allows smaller organizations to reach new people to volunteer. “Currently, there are about 405 nonprofits who are registered with the portal. And so for community members, they can go into this portal, and they can find volunteer opportunities,” says Janell Robinson, a board member with Giving DuPage. “There are about 975 or more volunteer opportunities available. And annually, we link a thousand or more people with nonprofits.”
Giving DuPage Days sends a message of hope
For three days in May, an entire county will come together to send a resounding message of HOPE to the local nonprofit community.
