A GivingTuesday Community is formed when people from a common geography, cause, or identity come together to make a difference in the lives of others in their communities. They find creative ways to mobilize networks, host volunteer events, rally awareness for causes, and raise funds for their local nonprofits – sparking waves of kindness and inspiring change.
GivingTuesday Community leaders engage stakeholders and partners across sectors to inspire their entire community to use their power of radical generosity to build the world we all want to live in.
We believe that local challenges are best solved by local leaders on the ground. Anyone can become a GivingTuesday Community leader, so long as you are passionate about seeing positive change in your community, and are equipped and willing to engage stakeholders across sectors (business, nonprofits, civil society, etc.) to partner with you in creating that change.
As a GivingTuesday leader, you will inspire your community – whether that’s your neighborhood, town, city, suburb, nation, or even your garden club – to use their power of radical generosity to create a world built with compassion, equity, justice, and generosity.
Creating and leading a GivingTuesday Community movement is rewarding and fun. Below are the six basic planning steps to bringing GivingTuesday to your community.
Our team is here to support you along the way to help you plan your movement and to connect you with other GivingTuesday leaders.
