November 27th, charities, businesses and individuals across the globe will be celebrating Giving Tuesday, the 6th annual day for giving back and doing good stuff!
Last year, an estimated 6,000 Canadian organizations and 6 million Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast got involved by volunteering, donating, fundraising or spreading the word.
With Giving Tuesday donations growing an incredible 468% since 2012, ensure your charity is taking part in this exciting and impactful grassroots movement—it’s the most wonderful time of the year to give!
GivingTuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday.
Giving Tuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners – nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals – to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. Across Canada and around the world, GivingTuesday unites communities by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another.
