Powered by United Way of the National Capital Area, Do More 24 is a 24-hour online giving day. Do More 24 raises funds for hundreds of local nonprofits in our community. Last year, Do More 24 donors contributed more than $1.3 million to organizations serving in the national capital area to help them fill gaps, launch new programs and hire staff.
