GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past 11 years, this idea has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
We encourage you to show your generosity toward children and teens living in foster care in one or more of these ways during GivingTuesday. Thank you!
