Overview

Mission

We serve the public as the dupage county volunteer center connecting people with local giving opportunities. In our role, we mobilize volunteers, provide capacity-building resources to local nonprofit organizations and strive to inspire our community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Programs to mobilize volunteers: giving dupage connects volunteers and donors with local opportunities to give back through a volunteer portal website, givingdupage.org/volunteer. In 2025, there were over 450 local volunteer, in-kind donations, community events, and non-profit job opportunities featured at the portal site. In 2025, 1,075 volunteers engaged directly with the portal, averaging 4 a day. In 2025, 106,921 volunteers viewed opportunities listed on the site, averaging 293 a day. Since 2006, giving dupage has provided over 18,000 volunteer connections to over 400 local nonprofit partners.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 66% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
