GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity, occurring annually on the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving. 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, redirecting the focus to acts of kindness and charitable giving.
