I Give Where I Live is newly redesigned with support frοm the Verizon Foundation. By helping with site redesign costs, Verizon Foundation has made it possible for smaller non-profits at I Give Where I Live to accept on-line donations.

The redesign makes it easier to navigate the site. There's a new search feature that lets you identify organizations according to their mission or their location.

Each non-profit at the site has an equal chance to appear in the Featured Organization sidebar on a rotating basis, so they all have a chance to grab your attention.

Verizon Foundation hopes you'll take a few minutes to browse I Give Where I Live, to find out what great work non-profit organizations are doing in Washington County, and how you can help.

Our Mission: To improve education, literacy, family safety and healthcare by supporting Verizon's commitment to deliver technology that touches life.

We focus our philanthropic efforts on three overarching areas: Education, Safety and Health, and Volunteerism, where we believe our technology can make the greatest impact.

The Verizon Foundation funds programs that address the heart of social issues such as literacy, technology education and domestic violence. We build partnerships to replicate our most successful programs in communities across the country.

Since 2000, the Verizon Foundation has invested more than $400 million in the United States and around the world to help others. In 2006, we awarded more than $69.4 million in grants to charitable and nonprofit agencies serving the needs of diverse communities. Verizon employees donated more than 600,000 hours in 2006 as part of Verizon volunteers, one of the largest corporate volunteer incentive programs in the United States.
