America’s Charities is closed Monday, July 4, through Friday, July 8, for our second annual recharge week

Please be advised that America’s Charities is closed Monday, July 4, through Friday, July 8, for our second annual recharge week. 

Recharge week is one of many ways we invest in our team’s health and well-being throughout the year, and one of the reasons we continue to be recognized as a Best Nonprofit to Work For. Our recharge week last fall provided our staff the opportunity to rest and recharge after another busy year filled with inspiring charitable giving campaigns and emergency assistance grant programs. We are incredibly proud to serve the nonprofit and CSR communities and remain committed to helping individuals and organizations support each other and the causes they care about.

This does not mean we are entirely unavailable during the week of July 4-8! It simply means that our availability is limited and we may have to collaborate differently during that week. We appreciate your understanding as we work to make sure that all of our teammates have the chance to truly recharge.
