WHAT is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday began in 2012, on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, as a specific day to highlight the importance of giving back, following the material purchases of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Last year, 177 million dollars was raised on Giving Tuesday worldwide!
