VolunteerOpportunitiesNear

Find real volunteer opportunities near you by searching a live directory of U.S. nonprofits.

VolunteerOpportunitiesNear connects you to nonprofit organizations across the country, sourced directly from IRS Form 990 filings via ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer — the same public data journalists and researchers use.

FIND ORGANIZATIONS THAT MATCH YOUR CAUSE Browse by cause category — from animal welfare to youth services — or search by organization name, city, or state. Use your current location to quickly surface nonprofits near you.

SEE THE FULL PICTURE Every organization includes a transparency snapshot: tax-exempt status, most recent filing period, reported revenue and assets, and their address on file, so you know who you're reaching out to before you volunteer.

BUILD YOUR SHORTLIST Save organizations you're interested in to a personal list, revisit them anytime, and share details with friends who want to volunteer alongside you.

TAKE THE NEXT STEP Jump straight to a web search for current volunteer openings at any organization, right from its detail page.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account or sign-in is required. Your searches and saved organizations stay on your device — VolunteerOpportunitiesNear never sends your activity anywhere but ProPublica's public API to fetch nonprofit data.

Whether you're looking for a one-time volunteer event or an ongoing cause to support, VolunteerOpportunitiesNear helps you find legitimate, verifiable nonprofits near you.
