GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. It has since grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

It falls, each year, on the Tuesday after “Black Friday” and Cyber Monday” a weekend of sales, spending and consuming before the busy Christmas period. It is hopeful that, after all the spending and sales are over, consumers might like to give a little something back to the community and kick off the season of giving. 

Every year, all year round, not-for-profits like ours work tirelessly for people, animals, and the environment. Fighting for a cause they believe in. Individuals generously give their time, money, goods and voices to ensure that these not-for-profits can continue their important work. Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for everyone to come together, collaborate and continue the support needed, to ensure healthy and happy communities in Australia.
