Mobilizing Elgin Through Giving
As we face the impact and the effects, both long and short-term, of the COVID-19 pandemic, the phrase “We’re in this Together” has never meant so much. We believe that generosity has the power to unite and heal our community in good times and bad. A global threat like COVID-19 touches every person on the planet, and it presents an opportunity to come together and show the world what being an Elginite is all about.
Join us in helping our local nonprofits who are looking to you for support and critical donations during this time.

About Elgin Gives
ELGIN GIVES is a collaborative effort of community leaders in the greater Elgin area to bring the power of philanthropy’s biggest day, #GivingTuesday, home to Elgin.
Our team members aim to excite, educate, and encourage Elgin area residents and businesses to make an investment in Elgin by supporting the many organizations whose work enhances the well-being of our residents and the quality of life of our entire community.
About Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a 24-hour fundraising event that connects individuals with the causes that matter to them, and empowers donors to give to the local nonprofits that tackle our communities’ most critical issues. Elgin Gives helps nonprofits raise money by connecting new donors with nonprofits and increasing awareness about local nonprofits while leveraging the national marketing of Giving Tuesday.
