What is Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday began in 2012 as a way to focus on philanthropy and spread the word about giving to charities during the Christmas giving season. The consumerist Christmas culture is beginning earlier and earlier each year. Black Friday and Cyber Monday constantly tell us that we more things to be happy. Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to push back and put the focus back on the true meaning of Christmas.

It also is a way to bring together the power of social media and the generosity of people around the world. Almost as important as the giving itself, this is also a day of sharing your favorite charities with your friends and family. Share their stories. Get them excited about the organization's mission. Bring awareness to the power of donations and small acts of kindness.

And this day of giving is making a big impact:

  • In 2012, $12M was donated on #GivingTuesday
  • In 2013, $27M donated
  • That amount grew to $47.5M in 2014
  • This more doubled to $116.7M in giving in 2015
  • Last year, $168M was given on #GivingTuesday
