America Gives is a project of America 250, the official nonpartisan initiative established by Congress to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States. The goal of America Gives is to make 2026 the biggest year of service in American history.
Businesses, non-profits, schools, youth groups, faith-based institutions, local governments and organizations of all kinds are challenged to commit increasing their volunteer efforts and begin measuring their impact today.
For you or your organization, simply take the Year of Service Pledge and log your volunteer hours at https://america250.org/america-gives/. A national counter on the America 250 website will track participation in real time, showing the collective hours of service across all 50 states, 5 territories and Washington, D. C.
As part of the America Gives initiative is the National America Gives Sweepstakes. America 250 will donate $1,000,000 to be distributed to 250 randomly selected winners with the opportunity to direct $4,000 to one of America 250’s approved 501(c)(3) Founding Partner charities.
Let USA250-OC if you participate. We would love to share your participation on our website!
