November 29, 2022 will mark the tenth anniversary of GivingTuesday. Created in 2012 as a simple idea - a day that encourages people to do good - GivingTuesday was born and fostered at the 92nd Street Y, (today known as 92NY), and its Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact in New York City. (You can read more about 92NY later this week in our Spotlight blog!)

Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement of millions of people who give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. As a result, GivingTuesday is now an independent nonprofit with a global network of leaders, partners, communities, and generous individuals.

On GivingTuesday, millions of people worldwide volunteer at homeless shelters, organize food drives, fill their community fridges, donate to mutual aid funds, and spread messages of solidarity and hope.

Here are some ideas you might consider:

●       Share kindness with your neighbors.

●       Volunteer to share your talents.

●       Show gratitude to healthcare workers, service providers, and other essential workers.

●       Give to your favorite cause or a fundraiser to help those in need.
