Giving Tuesday. It’s a Thing.
We’ve all heard of Thanksgiving. It’s an all-American tradition that seamlessly combines gratitude, televised parades, overeating, and football.
But did you know that a couple of days later is something known as Giving Tuesday? It’s a global movement focused not on what we receive, but on how much we can give.
This movement is designed to encourage radical generosity. It began in 2012 and has since grown into a global initiative impacting hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
People helping people.
How does it work? Simple. On Tuesday, November 29th, you take time to do something kind—smile at a stranger, donate to a charity, volunteer, support a local business, or pay for someone’s coffee in line.
Or take it further. Commit to being more selfless every Tuesday of the year—or even every day. You can even encourage your company to adopt the idea as part of its culture.
Participating in Giving Tuesday not only helps others—it can also help make you a better person. Now there’s a thought.
