GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity—to use their individual power of generosity to remain connected and support their communities. People can show their generosity in a variety of ways during GivingTuesday: whether it’s helping a neighbor, advocating for an issue, sharing a skill, or giving to causes, every act of generosity counts.
