Once the shopping ends, let the giving begin.
That’s the logic behind Giving Tuesday, a global, 24-hour campaign to encourage charitable giving. Now in its fourth year, Giving Tuesday was started by New York’s 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation, and it harnesses social media to connect donors and causes.
Last year’s 15,000 nonprofit participants raised an estimated $45 million dollars; this year, 30,000 organizations are signed up. Among them are these institutions:
Cheshire Academy is hosting a Giving Tuesday Twitter chat for independent schools. Swap philanthropy ideas at 1 p.m. Eastern with the hashtag #ISGivingTuesday.
The University of Michigan’s Giving Blueday, profiled on this blog last year, is back, with hourly challenges. (Last year’s effort raised more than $3,000,000.)
