Created in 2012, GivingTuesday encourages people to support charities, nonprofits, and community causes. People are encouraged to give in whatever way they can, either by donating their time, money, or resources to causes they care about, whether through monetary donations, volunteer work, or acts of kindness.
GivingTuesday takes place annually on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and this year will take place Tuesday, Dec. 3.
For over 30 years, IRUSA has been a charity you can trust, with a track record of using donations efficiently and effectively.
