FAQ What is Giving Tuesday?
Founded in 2012, Giving Tuesday is a response to the product-driven holiday season. After the annual buying frenzies of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, people can give something back on Giving Tuesday. This international day of giving harnesses the power of social media to put nonprofits in the spotlight. It celebrates the organizations that work to improve our world.
Why Giving Tuesday?
For one thing, it’s fun! Giving Tuesday is all about making posters, sharing pictures and telling everyone what’s important to you. This is a time to raise awareness about global mission, build excitement, get people involved and increase support for what God is doing through International Ministries (IM). For another thing, it’s effective. In 2013, over 10,000 organizations participated, 17,000 unselfies were published and $19.2 million was raised for charities.
How can you get involved?
1. The Date. Mark your calendar! This year’s Giving Tuesday is on December 2. 2. The Unselfie. Make a sign that expresses your support for global ministry.
