It is almost here again! The National Day of Giving is only a few weeks away.
Giving Tuesday, recognized on social media by the hashtag, #GivingTuesday, refers to the Tuesday after Thanksgiving giving movement in the United States. It is also a global movement that celebrates the power of people supporting their favorite nonprofit organizations to support their communities.
Giving Tuesday was initially started in 2012 as an alternative to the post Black Friday and Cyber Monday movements that have commercialized Thanksgiving and Christmas. So often nonprofits and charities get lost in the period between ramping up for Thanksgiving and the New Year. A designated day of giving allows you to support your local organizations during this hectic time. As it is now a nationally recognized movement, the date range is November 27 to December 3, and is always five days after the holiday.

As always, research any organization before donating. If you need help, send me a message via email, Facebook, Twitter, the blog, or my website.
Leave me a comment and let me know what organization you will be supporting on the National Day of Giving!!
