LOOKING AHEAD

GivingTuesday launched 11 years ago after a few people came together to answer the question, “What would a day dedicated to good look like?” That question sparked an idea, one that inspired people globally to unite under a shared vision for a better world, and those people built a network and a movement together. Every year, more and more people join the radical generosity movement, and they build the world they want to live in with each kind action or word.

Generosity is abundant, and giving happens in ways big and small every day, but we must continue to harness its power to ensure a brighter future. This movement moves because of the people who continue to build and shape it, but for radical generosity to truly transform our world, each of us needs to participate — to highlight the incredible potential impact of kindness, human connection, and community.

The world we want to see tomorrow, in 10 years, and in 100 years is being built by all of us as we speak. Generosity is at the heart of billions of actions people take every day, but it’s easy to forget that as we see suffering and unparalleled division around us. Let’s remember that a safer and more equitable future depends on not only each one of us but each one of us together. Let’s let that be our ultimate source of hope and optimism for the present and the future.

GivingTuesday reimagines a world built upon shared humanity and generosity.
