Community Movements

GivingTuesday has a global presence through 75 country movements spanning the world, each representing their own unique cultures and needs, while remaining united in their determination to mobilize their countries around generosity and shared humanity. In each country, a team of entrepreneurial leaders work with their own ecosystems of communities, nonprofits, platforms, religious institutions, families, schools, and private sector partners to drive increased giving, connection, and innovation.

At a local and cause level, GivingTuesday is brought to life through an interconnected network of leaders working toward a common goal in their own unique, entrepreneurial ways. Around the world, hundreds of GivingTuesday communities are led by a range of handraisers: community foundations, nonprofits, giving groups, giving circles, and social activists. In the U.S. alone, more than 240 GivingTuesday communities and coalitions drive generosity among people with a common connection to a geography, cause, culture or identity.

GivingTuesday Data Commons

The Starling Collective #GivingTuesdaySpark

The GivingTuesday Data Commons works with partners across sectors and borders to understand the drivers and impacts of generosity, explore giving behaviors and patterns, and use data to drive innovation and inspire more giving around the world. With over 100 contributing partners and 50 global data labs, the initiative is the largest philanthropic data collaboration ever built.

GivingTuesday’s Starling Collective is a learning lab and innovative fellowship for grassroots organizers, activists, artists and changemakers. The program recognizes, supports, and uplifts the extraordinary leadership arising from within communities to meet needs and provide healing—leadership that is often philanthropically underrecognized and undersupported. The 2020 cohort engaged 50 leaders from 29 countries, speaking 33 different languages. #GivingTuesdaySpark focuses on amplifying the voices of youth and spreading the culture of generosity in communities all over the world. This robust and inclusive youth- and young adult-led community inspires and connects leaders from 8 to 22 years old to boost the impact of young people assuming leadership and recognizing their power to make change.

Thought Leadership

GivingTuesday’s ongoing social conversation, outreach, and thought leadership connects and activates new and existing leaders, partners, and generous individuals. We create and curate resources and training that distill learning from the movement to strengthen new power leadership skills, build capacity, and challenge traditional thinking in and about the social sector. We showcase powerful stories to elevate generosity, creativity, and global community. Through this work, we inspire others to embrace radical generosity and create the world they wish to see.
