GivingTuesday set for December 3 as U.S. nonprofits prepare for major fundraising day
GivingTuesday, established in 2012, is a major fundraising day for U.S. nonprofits, occurring on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. In 2022 and 2023, it raised $3.1 billion, up from $2.7 billion in 2021. This year, it will take place on December 3.
Originally a social media campaign, GivingTuesday has evolved into a global movement promoting charitable giving. Nonprofits can participate without formal affiliation, using resources provided by the organization to enhance their fundraising efforts.
Despite its success, the number of donors decreased last year, raising concerns about future participation. GivingTuesday remains a key event for nonprofits as they aim to meet year-end fundraising goals.
