It is that time of the year again…did I start off that way
last year, too? Probably. But, Giving Tuesday is right around the corner and I want
to make sure everyone is ready to go!
What is Giving Tuesday?
“Giving
Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and
collaboration.
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the
U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving
Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and
end-of-year giving.
One of the best ways to get involved is in your own
community.” [1]
You can go to the website: https://www.givingtuesday.org/ for
help. They have compiled a directory of organizations that you can search
through. You can find an organization in need right in your own community.
The website is excellent and very comprehensive. Rather than
trying to describe all of the information that it contains, it is easier to
direct you there. If you have any questions, the answers are there!
Check out these graphics to see how Giving Tuesday
contributed last year.
Giving Tuesday is designed to fall towards the end of the
year when many are considering their end of year donations. Please check out my
blog regarding making your end of year donations (from 2015, but still timely):
