Make generosity visible
Connected communities around the world show what is possible when generosity is celebrated and shared.
About GivingTuesday
Generosity has the power to bring us together.
GivingTuesday is a global movement that inspires people, nonprofits, companies and communities to celebrate generosity and turn it into action.
Everyone has something to give.
There is no single way to participate. You can donate money, share your time or skills, support an organisation, create an activity, help someone nearby or encourage others to take part.
GivingTuesday brings these different acts together and makes it easier for more people to find a meaningful way to contribute.
The movement is not limited to one day. It is an invitation to make generosity part of everyday life.
Our story
From a simple idea to a global movement.
GivingTuesday started in 2012 as a response to the shopping days that follow Thanksgiving: a day dedicated to giving instead.
That idea has grown into an international movement, connecting people across countries and cultures around the belief that generosity can create lasting change.
See how generosity comes to life around the world through stories of people, organisations and communities taking action.
