Every year, millions of people around the world lead GivingTuesday locally – bringing a global movement of generosity to life by encouraging people to give, help, and act. On GivingTuesday this year – 1st December 2026 – people from across 110+ countries will give their time, skills, resources, and voice to causes they care about.
This national call invites Indians to step forward as GivingTuesday leaders. Join a growing network of leaders in India and around the world who are growing generosity in their communities.
Becoming a GivingTuesday leader is simple.
Fill out the application form (takes about 5 minutes). And that’s it! You can complete the form in English or Hindi.
Once you apply, you’ll hear from us with next steps.
A GivingTuesday leader brings the movement to life in their communities by leading efforts to bring people, organisations, and institutions together to take action. They don’t just act on their own – they get others involved to work towards something together.
This call is open to anyone, anywhere in India, whether you’re already taking action or just getting started. There are no restrictions on age, location, or background.
If you are under 18, you are welcome to apply with the support of a guardian to join the journey with you. Your guardian could be someone from an organization you are part of, or a parent, teacher, or trusted adult.
Every GivingTuesday leader shapes their own approach to growing generosity. There is no single way to lead.
This is what leading GivingTuesday can look like:
Some leaders run collection drives or awareness campaigns. Others focus on volunteering, local issues, or simply starting conversations that inspire action. It starts with what you care about – and grows through action in your own community.
