America Gives: Help Make 2026 the Biggest Year of Volunteer Service in U.S. History

July 10, 2026 by Jordan Jerkovich

As part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration, the official America250 initiative has launched America Gives, a nationwide effort to make 2026 the largest year of volunteer service in American history.

Nonprofits are encouraged to participate by inviting people to volunteer, celebrating their service, and sharing the difference volunteers make in their communities. Whether your organization relies on volunteers every day or is looking for new ways to engage community members, America Gives offers a unique opportunity to strengthen civic engagement while highlighting the vital role nonprofits play across the country.

Together, we can help create a lasting legacy of service that extends well beyond America’s 250th birthday!
