Every year, on the Tuesday after Black Friday, the world comes together to celebrate Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday’s mission is to shift the focus away from consumerism during the holiday season and encourage people to give back to their communities, fostering a culture of generosity.
Starting back in 2012, what began as an initiative for “radical generosity,” in the U.S. has now grown into a global movement with millions of people focusing on supporting their communities and the people that work tirelessly to have a positive impact on the world. The spirit of Giving Tuesday encourages people to contribute what they can whether it’s a couple dollars or a couple of hours volunteering with a local organization, every act of kindness and generosity counts.

- Help your neighbors
- Use your voice and advocate for a cause you care about
