We stuffed ourselves on Thanksgiving, shopped till we dropped on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday,  and now here we are at Giving Tuesday.   A global giving movement, Giving Tuesday is fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.

#GivingTuesday

#GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

There are lots of ways you can get involved.  One way is using the hashtag #GivingTuesday on social media.  Send a tweet or post on Instagram a picture of you or others giving.

In Your Community

One of the best ways to get involved is in your own community.  Donate your time, a donation, gift or the power of your voice in your local community.  You can get involved alone, with your family, a group or as a company.  Find a way to give back and then share it with the world.   You can find an event happening near you at https://www.givingtuesday.org/whats-happening-near-me

Giving Back Gives Pleasure

I enjoy giving back.  Here at UpStream Marketing, we helped a non-profit group, Operation Finally Home get started with their first website and watched them grow into a nationally recognized non-profit for returning veterans.  They were named a finalist on CNN Heroes.

I’m also involved in the Katy Christain Ministries of which I co-chair the communications committee.

I’m offering my ebook for 99 Cents as a way to help non-profits get a good start to preparing their website for 2019.

Get Involved

Everyone can find a way to give, even if you have no extra money.  Your time is equally needed.  There are so many organizations in the area that need a helping hand.

This November 27th, join the movement and give!  Snap a photo and post it on social media with the hashtag #GivingTuesday. There is no better way to kick off the holiday season!
