America Gives

Part of the America250 initiative is focused on volunteer service to others. There are so many ways we can all give back. This year, as the country marks an important milestone in its history, all are encouraged to think about contributing to their communities:

America Gives is an initiative that challenges businesses, non-profits, schools, youth groups, faith-based networks, and organizations of all kinds to commit to increasing their level of volunteering and impact starting on January 1, 2026. Together, we will build on America’s legacy of giving back and inspire a renewed culture of service for years to come.

Whether pitching in to support our veterans and military families, or restoring nature trails, or mentoring youth, or picking up litter, or anything in between — there’s a way for everyone to give back. Explore volunteer opportunities near you and find the right fit for you to participate as we get ready for America’s 250th anniversary.

Help us make 2026 a record setting year of volunteer service. Join people and organizations across the country in giving back — from service projects to donations — to honor America’s 250th.
