Why GivingTuesday?
Created in 2012 as a day to do good, GivingTuesday has grown into a year-round global generosity movement with leaders who have launched more than 200 community campaigns across the U.S. and national movements in more than 60 countries.
At the grassroots level, people and organizations participate in GivingTuesday in every single country in the world. On the last GivingTuesday, December 3, 2019, the global giving day generated $2 billion in giving, just in the United States, and inspired millions of people worldwide to volunteer, perform countless acts of kindness, and donate their voices, time, money, and goods.
At a time when we are all experiencing the pandemic, generosity is what brings people of all races, faiths, and political views together across the globe. Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on.
#GivingTuesdayNow, planned for May 5, 2020 is being deployed in response to needs
expressed by communities and leaders around the world.
Even in times of economic crisis, we each have a deep reserve of generosity, which we
can deploy in myriad ways to make a difference–your time, your kindness, your skills,
your voice are all things you can give in addition to charitable donations.
