Celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the U.S., Giving Tuesday is a global movement celebrating the power of philanthropy and giving. Since its creation in 2012, the day has leveraged collaboration on a global scale and social media to spread awareness and inspirational stories of people helping one another.
The day was established by the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact, a New York City cultural center that has united people under the values of service and giving back since 1874. According to Giving USA, Americans donated $390 billion to charity in 2016, marking a 2.7 percent rise from a year prior.
In observance of Giving Tuesday this year, over 1.6 million gifts have been given and $177 million has been raised online in more than 98 countries.
