Today marks Giving Tuesday, a global movement dedicated to inspiring generosity and collective action in communities worldwide. Since its creation in 2012, Giving Tuesday has grown into a powerful force for good, encouraging millions to give back through acts of kindness, donations, volunteerism, and advocacy.
Last year, an estimated $3.1 billion was donated in the U.S. alone during the 24-hour event, demonstrating the growing impact of this day. Beyond financial contributions, people worldwide participate in grassroots campaigns, youth-led initiatives, and community actions to create positive change.
With official campaigns in over 80 countries, Giving Tuesday reminds us that everyone has something to give, and every act of generosity counts. Whether through time, skills, or resources, today is an opportunity to join a global community dedicated to making a difference.
Local organizations like C.A.P.S., The Salina Art Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters, DVACK, Ashby House, Salina Grace and many other non-profits participate in this worldwide campaign.
