I Give Where I Live

Realizing that Washington County residents have few tools for discovering giving opportunities, in 2005, VAN catalyzed the creation of the “I Give Where I Live” network.  A collaborative initiative between local nonprofits, IGWIL is a web-based public information campaign designed to: 1) provide local donors and volunteers with a single easy-to-access portal to local charities; and 2) help local nonprofits increase their resource development capacity.  VAN serves as fiscal sponsor.

What is "I Give Where I Live"?

I Give Where I Live (IGWIL) is a web-based public information campaign designed to assist local donors and volunteers with access to local giving opportunities in Washington County.  Nonprofit agencies in Washington County may choose to “affiliate” with IGWIL, which means an agency is part of the public information campaign and is listed on IGWIL’s website.   For affiliation information please visit the I Give Where I Live website.

IGWIL is a collaboration among the following partner agencies, all of whom lend staff support and are represented on the I Give Where I Live Steering committee:
