In 2007, he helped the blog Blogging For Michigan raise over $5,000 for care packages for Michigan Soldiers serving in Iraq as part of the Army Reserves and Michigan National Guard.
Donald Bortz has also volunteered for several campaigns, including Tony Trupiano's congressional campaign and Kellie Riddell's run for the State Legislature. He serves on the Executive Committee for the Oakland County Democratic Party and the Waterford Democratic Club.
