Written by Tony Connor, Director of Marketing, Public Interest Registry Are you ready? #GivingTuesday is quickly approaching on November 28 this year. With a little over a month to prepare, it’s recommended to begin outreach around your campaign on October 28, one month before the actual date.

To explore how this is happening and overall trends in global philanthropic giving, Public Interest Registry and Nonprofit Tech for Good partnered for the Inaugural 2017 Global Trends in Giving Report. The report examines the impact of technology, gender, generation and ideology upon how people give to causes around the world. One interesting area the report explores is Liberal versus Conservative giving around the world.

For example, the report indicates that conservative donors are older in age and tend to most give to religious and faith-based service,
