Although the official start to the “Holiday Season” generally occurs on Thanksgiving weekend, the charitable component so often linked to this time of year is highlighted a few days later with #GivingTuesday, which fell on Dec. 1. If you don’t know already, #GivingTuesday, a relatively recent movement, was created in 2012 by New York’s 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation as a response to consumerism and commercialization. The event takes place each year on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, providing a respite from Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and is designed to be a global day of giving through monetary donations, your time, goods and your voice.
