Giving Tuesday is a global tradition of charity and philanthropy on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

#GivingTuesday

What is the meaning of Giving Tuesday?

Giving is part of holiday traditions, but a lot of us complain about how the Holiday season has become overly commercial.

Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 by the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at the 92nd Street Y as a counterpoint to the out-of-control consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the biggest shopping days of the year.

Giving Tuesday has rapidly grown into a global movement. It’s about service to all people. That idea is very 92nd Street Y.

PS: This is a learning project. We have made some mistakes, but with your help, we get better every year. Also we use the pronoun "we" no matter who we are writing about. Creating a "them" is the first step in dehumanization. In our world, there is no "them," there is only "us." Thank you for joining us.
