Turn a Milestone Into Action

The Mobilizing Millions Fund is a national investment platform that builds nonprofit capacity and fuels local movements. It celebrates everyday service while scaling impact—equipping local volunteer action centers to engage even more people during peak moments of service.
With one investment you can have national reach by investing in days of service across the country.
- Single Moment Partner (one day of service/civic moment, e.g., Earth Day) | Support one civic moment: community grants + national storytelling + impact summary.
- Multi Moment Partner (multiple days of service/civic moments, e.g., Earth Day, 9/11 Day of Service, Family Volunteer Day) | Support multiple civic moments with recurring storytelling and aggregate reporting.

250 Days of Service is an optional campaign add-on designed for Points of Light’s existing corporate parters. Running from National Volunteer Week, which launches on April 19, 2026, through Dec. 25, 2026, the 250 Days of Service campaign package allows partners to align their existing volunteer programs to a nationally visible, timebound campaign.
Points of Light will provide assets for a visual identity that pairs with your brand, language and talking points around the 250 Days of Service, external visibility and storytelling moments throughout the campaign.
