What is Giving Tuesday all about?
#GIVINGTUESDAY
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving, fuelled by the power of social media and collaboration. #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season in November, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, Giving Tuesday has become an international movement in over 150 countries that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources. You can read more about #GivingTuesday on their website.
