Crush Your Nonprofit’s Fundraising Goals on GivingTuesday
Why should your nonprofit participate in fundraising on GivingTuesday?
You don’t want to miss the national day of giving coming on Tuesday, Nov. 29! The 10th annual GivingTuesday is a tremendous opportunity for fundraising for nonprofits.
Your organization will need to work with your supporters on this day. And while you have their attention, spread the word about all the good your nonprofit puts into the world all year.
And, with Givelify’s toolkit and mobile donation app for nonprofits, you can make this the best GivingTuesday for your organization.
GivingTuesday continues to shatter records.
GivingTuesday was started in 2012 at 92nd Street Y in New York City. Fun fact: The National Day of giving was intentionally placed on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Why? To help balance the shopping frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday with a day of generosity and giving to others.
From that first local day to now, GivingTuesday has continued to grow. Giving in the U.S. alone totaled $2.7 billion on GivingTuesday in 2021. And more than 35 million adults participated, demonstrating an ongoing trend of increased generosity and participation on this day.
Since 2018, Givelify’s giving community has set records on GivingTuesday. Last year, 8,000 organizations participated in GivingTuesday with Givelify, and more than 23,000 donors contributed to GivingTuesday using the Givelify giving app.
With Givelify, organizations raised $4.2M on GivingTuesday in 2021. The generosity of donors who use Givelify has grown tremendously. Year after year, more individuals choose Givelify to make a difference on GivingTuesday, confirming this biggest giving day’s value in doing more good together.
As the GivingTuesday message has spread to more people, it is now easier than ever for nonprofits to leverage this day to fundraise for their unique projects. Generosity is top of mind, and the spirit of giving is in the air on this day.
People are both aware and ready to give! We want you to seize this opportunity and participate in GivingTuesday 2022.
