Giving Tuesday 2025
What is Giving Tuesday?
It’s the annual event dedicated to boosting radical generosity, held on the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The idea behind GivingTuesday was to set aside a single day to counter consumerism by giving back.
Launched in 2012 at the 92nd Street Y, GivingTuesday became an independent organization in 2019 and has since expanded globally. Today it includes five international hubs, GivingTuesday Spark, a youth leadership development initiative, and the GivingTuesday Data Commons, where a team of researchers track and report on trends in generosity.
Today, GivingTuesday’s global network of over 110 country leaders and thousands of community leaders collaborates year-round to inspire generosity, with the shared goal of building a world where generosity is part of everyday life.
