What is Giving Tuesday and How Can You Help?

By Alexander Landa

We've been talking a lot about Giving Tuesday the past week, but it's all for a good reason. This is the biggest day of the year for non-profits such as ours, as we celebrate our contributions towards our community, and our plans moving forward. Everything we do is for the greater good – a mission that can't be done alone, which is why we rely on our contributors to make all of this happen. 

If you donate through Facebook, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match your gift. That's a HUGE deal for us. $5 becomes $10, $25 becomes $50, and so on. We can really make massive strides in one day.

Giving Tuesday is recognized as the first Tuesday following the string of Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and then Cyber Monday. On this global day of giving, observed primarily on social media and group collaboration, non-profits make a call for holiday and end-of-year giving. Now is also a good time to get involved as a volunteer.

Your support makes a difference. Everything goes into our organization, and in turn, we use it for student scholarships, advocacy, service projects, and more.

Thank you for being a part of our community!

What do we want? More Green Buildings!
