We can hardly believe it, but yes, fall is essentially here (at least in terms of football, pumpkin spice lattes, and back-to-school), and that means the holiday season isn’t too far away either. Does your nonprofit already have a holiday giving campaign plan, or are you holding onto those last few weeks of summer?
In the last few years, the nonprofit community has rallied around a day to call their own during the holidays, which is all about philanthropy. #GivingTuesday was created by the 92 Street Y in New York City and the UN Foundation in DC to counter against Black Friday and Cyber Monday and reinvigorate this busy retail season with its original concept: to give back to the community and to others.
Two years after it launched, #GivingTuesday has engaged more than 10,000 organizations and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars online, and even more importantly, created a stronger sense of community and partnership between nonprofits during the holiday season – a time at which they are competing for donors’ attention and dollars, just like retailers.
→ Mark your calendars: #GivingTuesday is on December 2.
