The Power of Generosity: Make an Impact This Giving Tuesday

by Ernest Van Glahn

 

After the rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday provides the perfect opportunity to shift focus from shopping to giving. It’s a global day of generosity, inspiring millions to support the causes they care about most. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading kindness, every act of giving creates ripples of change.


What Is Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday, celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, started in 2012 as a movement to encourage charitable actions during the holiday season. It’s a reminder that the season of giving isn’t just about exchanging gifts—it’s about making a difference in our communities and beyond.


How You Can Get Involved

  1. Support Your Favorite Causes

    • Donate to a nonprofit organization that aligns with your values.
    • Fundraisers, recurring donations, or even small contributions add up to meaningful impact.
  2. Volunteer Your Time

    • Many charities and local groups need volunteers for their programs. Your time is often just as valuable as a monetary gift.
  3. Raise Awareness

    • Use your voice to share information about organizations making a difference. Social media is a powerful tool to inspire others to get involved.
  4. Help Someone in Need

    • Acts of kindness—big or small—go a long way. Help a neighbor, mentor a student, or pay for someone’s meal.
