About GivingTuesday

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Join the movement and give, whether it’s some of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community.

It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in.

Show Your Generosity

It’s more important than it ever has been to show up for our communities.

• Support your local social good organizations, mutual aid networks, and community organizers
• Do an act of kindness or help a neighbor
• Identify your gifts, pick a cause that gets you fired up, and give back – not just for GivingTuesday but every day.

If you have favorite charities, give today, through the holiday season and whenever.

As previous posts have noted, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is an excellent choice. Best of all, right now there is a 5X match for your donation:

Nearly all civilians in Gaza are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Children are dying of starvation and disease. With aid access severely limited, the IRC and its partners are responding where we can to provide nutrition, clean water, sanitation and hygiene services, along with child protection in some of the hardest-hit areas.

Today, your additional gift will be 5X-matched, helping the IRC make a lasting impact for people in crisis in Gaza and across the world—at a scale that truly makes a meaningful impact.

Thank you for your gift.
