About #GivingTuesday:
Now in its fourth year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving
fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Observed on
the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the
widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday,
#GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on
their holiday and end-of-year giving. Created in 2012 by 92nd
Street Y—a cultural center in New York City that, since
1874, has been bringing people together around the values of
service and giving back—#GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of
individuals, communities and organizations around the world for one
common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. A team of
influencers and founding partners joined forces—collaborating
across sectors, offering expertise and working tirelessly—to launch
#GivingTuesday, and it has become a movement that celebrates and
supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year
and a growing catalog of resources. To learn more about
