Giving Tuesday 2017

Tuesday, November 28 is Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The day kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. The global movement asks individuals, families, companies, organizations and others to find a way to give back and then share those ideas. Governor Nathan Deal sent out a tweet urging Georgians to support nonprofits that help those in need.

This is the sixth year of the event, which is fueled by social media and collaboration. #Giving Tuesday celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy. It was created at the Belfer Center for Innovation and Social impact in New York.
