Have you heard of DuPage United? What do you know about that organization?
Trinity is a new member of this group as of 2024, so you will have the opportunity to learn much more about DuPage United in the weeks to come.
DuPage United describes itself as ‘an inclusive, non-profit, fiercely non-partisan organization whose members are civil society institutions: churches, mosques, synagogues, non-profit agencies, and associations’ that work together to improve life in our area. Other local churches that are members of DuPage United include St. Paul Lutheran (Wheaton). Faith Lutheran (Glen Ellyn) and St. Mark’s Episcopal (Glen Ellyn). The organization is affiliated with Metro IAF, part of the Industrial Areas Foundation, the oldest and largest network of community organizations throughout the U.S., England, Germany, Australia, and Canada.
How is DuPage United different from other nonprofits? Although it tackles many issues, it is not an issue-based or service organization. Instead, it is dedicated to helping institutions build power to effectively engage in democratic action in the public arena.
