Giving Tuesday 2020 is fast approaching on December 1st, have you heard of it? Perhaps it was born as the opposite of Black Friday, a day known for sales and heavily discounts an effort to boost profits towards the end of the year. In stark contrast, Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement. It is a day where people donate time and money to help both local and global charities or non-profits.

What is Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday occurs on the first Tuesday in December every year. Giving Tuesday 2020 is on December 1st. It is a global movement inspiring generosity. Giving Tuesday also encourages people and organizations to help local and global causes, non-profits and charities.
