If you've heard of #GivingTuesday, you've probably seen the overwhelming stats that suggest it is the perfect time of year to leverage an online giving campaign to raise more for your organization.

 #GivingTuesday History

#GivingTuesday, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving- held Tuesday, December 1 in 2020-was started in 2012 as a day of giving back in direct contrast to its consumeristic counterparts, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It has since grown into a global generosity movement that raised nearly 2 billion dollars last year (online and offline) in the U.S. alone.

This is clearly an online and social media movement, with more than 20 billion social media impressions in 2019. In fact, #GivingTuesday was among the top trending topics on Twitter through most of the day on #GivingTuesday 2019.
