Elgin Gives promotes philanthropic giving and recognizes the good work of all Elgin nonprofit organizations that meet the needs of citizens in our community – from vital services such as food, shelter, healthcare, education, senior services, and counseling to providing opportunities for youth leadership, to engage in sports, participate in the arts or just have plain fun on the block in which you live.
Elgin Gives recognizes and promotes responsible giving to registered and recognized Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 501c3 organizations, excluding religious congregations and political action committees. We encourage you to visit guidestar.org and charitynavigator.org. These websites allow you to research IRS 501c3 nonprofits by community and return information about the governance and operations prior to making a contribution.
Elgin Gives does not endorse nor financially support specific nonprofit organizations.
