GivingTuesday
➡️ GivingTuesday - Creating a Culture of Generosity
GivingTuesday is a global movement and organisation which is celebrated on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, it also aims to inspire a culture of year-round generosity. The grassroots collective combines the power of people and organisations giving them the tools to transform their local communities.
Their network is made-up of non-profits, platforms, religious institutions, families, schools, and the private sector. Data commons has grown to be the largest philanthropic data collaboration ever built. This collection of data is designed to aid with decision making, resilience, and innovation in the social sector.
This global event aims to shift our focus away from consumerism and materialism, towards generosity and kindness (via charitable giving or community support) - counterbalancing consumer-heavy days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. In 2023, donors in the U.S. gave $3.1 billion in the name of Giving Tuesday. It's not all about money either, people also contribute through volunteering, carrying out acts of kindness, and giving their time, voices, and services. In 2022, 11 million people donate goods and 10 million volunteered in the U.S. alone.
The movement originated in the U.S in 2012 and quickly spread to 90 countries around the world. It inspires people to be more generous in their day to day lives, and people are drawn to the idea of collective impact. Togetherness and community are a huge appeal and form a big part of the reason why so many people feel compelled to get involved. GivingTuesday demonstrates perfectly the profound impact of collective, small acts of kindness.
