We envision a world where all individuals discover their power to make a difference and are equipped as active, engaged citizens.
For Individuals
At United Way of Frederick County, we believe that anyone can be a philanthropist, whether it's through giving time or monetary donations. Sharing your time and talents is an invaluable way to give back and impact the lives of your neighbors. And we make volunteering fun, easy, and accessible to individuals, groups, and corporations so that they can take action on the causes they care about the most. Sign up through our website, and we will update you when volunteer opportunities come up throughout the year, including our Days of Action that run in the spring and fall. Check out our upcoming events here.

Nonprofit Organizations
If your organization is a registered 501(c) (3) organization, government agency, neighborhood association, eldercare facility or public school that accepts volunteers regardless of race, ethnic origin/nationality, religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability, we can assist you in recruiting volunteers to support your organization.
