If you think 2025 Year-End and GivingTuesday are business as usual this year, think again.
Year-End has the potential for large returns, with 30% of annual charitable giving taking place in December alone – but what about the philanthropic challenges to contend with?
The Challenge
In 2024, generosity reached new heights as 36.1 million people came together on GivingTuesday to donate a record-breaking 3.6 billion dollars in just one day. This incredible 16% increase from 2023 shows the unstoppable power of people uniting for good.
That is why we created the 2025 Year-End and GivingTuesday playbook, your guide to harnessing this energy and turning it into lasting impact.
