2021’s National Day of Giving is November 30. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is a national holiday known as Giving Tuesday. The day celebrates people financially supporting their favorite local charities or non-profits. It is also celebrated to promote the making of gifts rather than purchasing them. Laura Deupree from the Dunwoody Nature Center told me about GA gives on Giving Tuesday. The Georgia Center for Nonprofits is spearheading this campaign, helping nonprofits around Georgia raise funds during the national Giving Tuesday event. Giving Tuesday is a wonderful way for nonprofits to come together and encourage giving that benefits us all – kind of a “rising tide lifts all boats” strategy. So…prompted by Laura, I’ve compiled a list of local charities to hopefully boost their chances for more donations. If I have missed any, let me know and I’ll add more. I skipped churches and synagogues but you can search and find yours if you’d like. You don’t have to wait until Giving Tuesday though…..Early Giving is open!
