Celebrate giving
The third annual GivingTuesday is on 2 December. It’s a national day of giving to kick off the giving season. Participants are asked to create and commit to a project for/on #GivingTuesday and then help spread the word to their networks. It’s a campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season.
GivingTuesday celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support not-for-profit organisations. To be an official partner, you must be a registered not-for-profit with a specific #GivingTuesday initiative, or a for-profit business, school, religious or community group who commit to spearhead a project that will benefit at least one registered charity or non-profit. Families and individuals are encouraged to be generous in whatever ways matter to them, whether that means volunteering at a local charity or donating to a favorite cause.
For more information and ideas how to get involved, please see the GivingTuesday website.
