Join with Hands on DC in building better schools and brighter futures to put your organization’s commitment and strengths in the spotlight!

Hands on DC is an all-volunteer organization and we are dependent on contributions, both monetary and in-kind, to complete a large number of school renovation projects and to offer college scholarships to deserving local youth. By sponsoring a Hands on DC event, your company’s commitment to the local community will be visible to thousands of area residents.

The approximately 35,000 volunteers who have been a part of past work-a-thons includes teams from organizations, corporations, firms and companies, groups that care about the local community, are generous with their donations and provide their employees with volunteer opportunities to give back to the community.

There are a number of ways you can assist us with a contribution that will help us achieve our goals of beautification of schools and the scholarship program. The available donor levels and associated benefits are listed below.
