What Is Giving Tuesday?

Imagine a day where kindness knows no bounds, and the ripple effect of individual compassion leads to year-round funding for charitable causes worldwide. That’s the beauty and wonder of Giving Tuesday, which empowers individuals and communities to make a tangible difference in the world by rallying around nonprofits that need support.

Giving Tuesday is a global movement, occurring annually on the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving. It serves as a counterbalance to the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, redirecting the focus to acts of kindness and charitable giving.

While Giving Tuesday is only a single day, it’s also the official kickoff to the year-end giving season. It raises awareness and funding for causes that span all categories, potentially inspiring people to spend less on holiday shopping and instead contribute a portion of those resources to nonprofit organizations they stand behind.
