Get in the Spirit of Christmas on Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday

Now in its sixth year, Giving Tuesday is a global day celebrated after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

This event kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy.

Created by the team at the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at the 92nd Street Y—a cultural center in New York City that, since 1874, has been bringing people together around the values of service and giving back. #GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of individuals, communities, and organizations around the world for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. A team of influencers and founding partners joined forces to launch #GivingTuesday and have continued to shape, grow and strengthen the movement.
