Unleash generosity in your community. Learn what it takes to start and grow a GivingTuesday movement in your city or for your cause.
GivingTuesday Communities come together around a common geography or issue area to collaborate, innovate, transform, and inspire- making a difference in the lives of others, finding creative ways to mobilize networks, hosting volunteer events, raising funds for their local nonprofits, and sparking waves of kindness.
The GivingTuesday model empowers anyone to become a leader in their local community. GivingTuesday Community leaders engage stakeholders and partners across sectors (business, nonprofit, civic, etc) and inspire their entire community to use their power of radical generosity to build the world we all want to live in.
Across the country, in big cities, small towns, and coalitions built across cultures or common interests, GivingTuesday has brought together local people with collective hopes for their communities to drive positive change. Learn more about how this movement is empowering leaders to use generosity to build a more just + equitable world, one community at a time.
