What Is GivingTuesday?

#GivingTuesday was created in 2012 with a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. It always takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. (November 28, 2023 this year.) It is a global day of charitable giving unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

In an era of global crisis and disconnection, we need new rituals to connect us. As the world's largest giving GivingTuesday strives to build a world in which the catalytic power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity and equity around the globe. GivingTuesday believes that generosity leads to great civic participation and other pro-social behaviors.

GivingTuesday Mission: Build a more just and generous world.

How To Give On GivingTuesday

Give Dollars

Throughout our communities, nonprofit organizations are working tirelessly every day to make a difference in our communities.

Donate to a nonprofit in honor of GivingTuesday December 3, 2024 on AZGives.org which contains a robust list of nonprofits providing services in Arizona.

Give Goods

Organize a donation drive - they’re a great way to rally a group around a cause you all care about, whether that’s your weekend crew, your family, your neighbors, or your officemates. Collect toiletries, books, clothes, food - just about anything can be the focus of a donation drive. Be sure the check in with the nonprofit you’re collecting for before you begin. And don’t forget to take lots of photos along the way: Everyone loves to see a big pile of donated goods as a reward for their work and generosity.

Give Time

By volunteering, you can give something back, make a difference to the people around you, develop new skills, and learn more about issues affecting your community. The right volunteer opportunity can help you reduce stress, find friends, and even advance your career. Connect with nonprofits in your neighborhood or check out VolunteerMatch, Points of Light or Idealist. Local Arizona resources: HandsOn Greater Phoenix, United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, Valley of the Sun United Way or United Way of Northern Arizona.

Give Voice

You’ve got the power and the passion to transform your community. By lending our voice to advocate for the causes and issues we care about, we can all be activists who affect the kind of change that makes our world a better place. Get some ideas from DoSomething.org and don't forget that you can make some of the most meaningful change within your own local community.

Give Talent

Many nonprofits are understaffed or operating on a small budget and can’t afford the marketing, HR, technology, or planning resources that their missions deserve. Consider giving your skills to help a nonprofit - get connected with Taproot+

Give Kindness

A seemingly small act of kindness has the power to inspire generosity that can permeate society and catalyze change. Buy someone’s lunch, text someone to tell them you’re grateful to know them, or compliment a stranger. It matters more than we can ever know. Get more ideas from our friends at Kindness.org or Pay It Forward Day. Teachers: make kindness the norm at your school with our GivingTuesdayKids program.

Give Together

GivingTuesday is an opportunity to do more than just raise money - it’s a chance to unite + inspire communities around the world. "Chalk" your neighborhood, build a kindness wall, or host community conversations to discuss local issues. Get involved with your local GivingTuesday Community Campaign.
