Giving Tuesday: Global Nonprofit Support Day

Giving Tuesday, falling on December 3, 2024, is an important day for supporting nonprofit and community groups worldwide. Since its inception in 2012, this day has been dedicated to galvanizing fundraising efforts, rallying volunteers, and increasing awareness for various causes. Nonprofits, particularly across areas like Baldwin and Whitehall, PA; Geneva, IL; Narragansett-South Kingstown, RI; and multiple regions in New York, face ongoing funding challenges while fulfilling community needs. Several local organizations, such as the Jonnycake Center For Hope in Narragansett, aim to provide essential services and rely on community support during this season. The day after Thanksgiving has been strategically chosen to inspire generosity following the consumer-driven Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Community participation on Giving Tuesday is crucial for sustaining these nonprofits' efforts to bridge gaps and support vulnerable populations.
