Today is Giving Tuesday! 🗓️🤩 Created in 2012, Giving Tuesday is a worldwide movement that encourages people to do good for others and for their communities. While it’s easy to think of “giving” as making a cash donation, the true spirit of Giving Tuesday is to inspire acts of generosity of every shape and size. How big is this global day of giving? In the U.S. alone, more than 35 million people participated in Giving Tuesday 2021 events, raising $2.7 billion—a 9% increase over 2020 and a whopping 37% increase over 2019. However, non-cash acts of generosity increased beyond 2020 figures as well, according to the network. Donations of goods like clothing and food were up 8%, and volunteering increased by 11%.
