Today is
Giving Tuesday Now,
a new global day of giving and unity as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.
Let’s come together to create a wave of generosity, citizen engagement, action from business and philanthropy, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world.
Here are some ways to help:
• Support healthcare workers by donating supplies, advocating for them, and staying home.
• Give to the organizations that you love most – no amount is too little and nonprofits need our support.
• Help out small businesses by buying gift cards or writing an online review.
• Combat loneliness by reaching out to a neighbor, relative, seniors or veterans.
