Show Compassion & Generosity this Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. It is part of the nonprofit Giving Tuesday organization, and the goal is to encourage people to share their time, talent, or treasure and inspire giving in all corners of the world.
It was first observed in 2012 when 92% of donations on Black Friday went to non-profits. In fact, it was American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and author John P. Simmons who started this tradition of giving with the aim to offer an alternative to the consumerism associated with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Thus, the day after Thanksgiving was chosen as the day for this event because it is typically a slow day for retail sales.
The purpose of Giving Tuesday is to encourage people to think about what they can do for others, rather than what they can get from others. This includes volunteering time or money, donating food or clothing, or doing something kind for someone else.
It’s worth noting that nonprofits in the United States have raised more than $1.9 billion since 2012, and the number of people who donate, as well as those who simply choose to raise awareness with the hashtag #GivingTuesday on social media, is increasing every year.
