What is #GivingTuesday?
This year, on 3 December, we are encouraging Australian businesses, not-for-profits, charities, community groups, families and individuals to join a global movement and celebrate a day of giving to kick off the giving season. We're calling this day #GivingTuesday.
#GivingTuesday was started in 2012 by New York's 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation. Together, they rallied different sectors together to 'give back' and support local not-for-profits, causes and communities. The inaugural #GivingTuesday saw over 2500 not-for-profit and business partners participate in different ways that not only resulted in awareness being raised of key issues but also a significant increase in giving on that day.
Now it's time for Australians to give back and show the world what we can do together.
