Values

As the building blocks of our culture, GivingTuesday’s values are vital to our success. The culture is carried and embodied by the people who work every day at the GivingTuesday nucleus and across the extraordinary community of the movement. These values guide our work, both as a movement and an agile organization designed to celebrate and uplift co-creation and share power with its many diverse stakeholders in order to drive generosity every day, in every community, and in every form. The nucleus organization and the larger movement operate within the same culture and foundational set of values.

Our values

• Interconnection is the movement’s superpower; it multiplies the strength of our organic, distributed creativity and problem solving. • We collectively share success and accountability across our global network. • We are continually intellectually curious; at the same time, we value our deep base of shared learnings drawn from across the movement. • We believe in collaborative experimentation and innovation. • GivingTuesday embraces new models of hierarchy and power, bolstering leaders from not only expected but also unexpected backgrounds. • We all have gifts and talents to give; we all have wants and needs. Each generous action is a chance to connect, serve, and uplift one another. • We embrace an abundance mindset and believe generosity is plentiful and generative.
