#GivingTuesday – A movement encouraging everyone to give back | The Giving Institute

#GivingTuesday – A movement encouraging everyone to give back | The Giving Institute: love giving.

Is there anything better than the joy you feel when you decide, for yourself, with your family or maybe on behalf of an organization, to make a donation to a worthy cause? It’s high up there on my list, for sure.

I also love #GivingTuesday, the movement focused on celebrating the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) as the opening day of the giving season. A wonderful group of people, including Henry Timms (interim executive director of the 92nd Street Y), Matthew Bishop (The Economist) and Rob Reich (Stanford University) launched this movement in 2012 as a way to help expand the reach of those engaged in giving back.
