Iowans can search for volunteer opportunities or post their organizations' volunteer needs on Volunteer Iowa’s website. The Volunteer Opportunities section links to the Get Connected system with statewide listings. Businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals can find out more about how to get involved by choosing Participate on the Giving Tuesday website.
Three times a year, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) publishes The Wise Giving Guide to help donors make wise giving decisions. The cover story for the Fall 2022 guide is Crypto-Philanthropy. The spring/summer 2022 issue focused on Ukraine charity relief. Each guide also contains a list of charities evaluated by the BBB’s Wise Giving Alliance. These and earlier issues of The Wise Giving Guide can be downloaded at no charge on the BBB website. Photo by Mitchell Luo on Unsplash
