#GIVINGTUESDAYNOW
V
#GivingTuesdayNow launched as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. On May 5, 2020, millions of people came together to express their generosity through acts of kindness, donations of goods, time and money, notes of compassion, advocacy for causes, and care for family and friends.
Thanks to GivingTuesday’s passionate and entrepreneurial global network of leaders and partners, in less than five weeks we catalyzed a global day of giving and unity, spurring countless acts of kindness and generosity around the world. #GivingTuesdayNow provided a spike in optimism, hope, and connection for people around the world, and an infusion of support for the social sector at a pivotal moment. It channeled the already increased energy of millions of people around the globe into a collective surge of generosity and action on behalf of nonprofits and neighbors. It gave organizations that were not directly connected to COVID-19 response a platform to tell their stories and seek support. It generated creative collaborations, mobilized seniors and celebrities, and sparked joy and community in the face of quarantine and isolation.
#GIVINGTUESDAYNOW PROVIDED A SPIKE IN OPTIMISM, HOPE, AND CONNECTION FOR PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.
