Get Ready for GivingTuesday | November 28

November 28, 2023, will mark the eleventh 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. Over the past eleven years, GivingTuesday, now an independent nonprofit, has a global network of leaders, partners, communities, and generous individuals.

On GivingTuesday, millions worldwide volunteer or donate to help make their neighborhood and world a better place. And their efforts truly do make a difference. No matter how much you can afford to give, your donation matters. Every donation received adds up and helps charities get to work and make a positive difference. And your gift is just as valuable for those giving hours of their free time. According to a study released earlier this year by the Do Good Institute, the current estimated value of each volunteer hour in New York is $35.71.

Throughout the five boroughs, New York City has over 45,000 nonprofit organizations. Whatever cause you support, there is probably a charity to serve it. Broadway Stages does its best throughout the year to support several causes and the related charities. Below are just a few deserving groups we encourage you to help on November 28.
