Every year, communities around the world come together to celebrate generosity through a Giving Day—an opportunity to support the nonprofits and causes that make a meaningful difference. One of the most recognizable Giving Days is Giving Tuesday, held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. While the holiday season is filled with opportunities to give, Giving Tuesday stands out as a global movement rooted in kindness, community, and impact.
At Brave Like Me Foundation, we believe days like these are powerful reminders that every single act of generosity—big or small—helps build a better, stronger world.
What Is a Giving Day?
A Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraising event that encourages people to support organizations they care about. Cities, schools, nonprofits, and communities organize these days to inspire collective giving, raise awareness, and unify supporters around shared goals.
What About Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday began in 2012 as a simple idea: a day encouraging people to do good. Today, it’s a global movement, recognized in more than 75 countries. It follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday—two days centered on shopping—and invites us to focus on generosity, compassion, and community.
Whether you donate, volunteer, help spread the word, or perform acts of kindness, Giving Tuesday reminds us that we all have something to offer.
