Black Friday, Cyber Monday... Help Launch Giving Tuesday

-
 
 
 
 
On Tuesday November 27, 2012, charities, families, businesses and individuals are coming together to transform the way people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.
 
It’s a simple idea. Find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to join in acts of giving. Tell everyone you can about what you are doing and why it matters. Join a national celebration of our great tradition of generosity.
And together we’ll create ways to give more, give better and give smarter.
 
 
I love this idea.  Take the purchasing power of the holidays and turn it to the organizations in our community that make a difference in people's lives all year.  Many people do volunteer and donate during the holidays already, so this serves as a commencement or framework to centralize and celebrate the efforts. 
 
The website provides great ideas for individual and businesses to get involved.  You can actually give on Giving Tuesday or use that day to make your commitment to giving during the holidays.
 
 
Here are some other ways to get involved on Giving Tuesday. 
 
Volunteering
  • Look for BVU's Holiday Guide coming soon!  There will be a list of many holiday-related volunteer opportunities that you and your family or co-workers can join in with.
 
Shopping
 
 
Donating
  • For local giving in Baltimore, visit Give Corps.  Find a project that moves you, give online, and get a "goodie"/great deal from  local merchant to reward your generosity.  That "goodie" can be used to knock a holiday gift right off your list!  See how it comes full circle?  Pretty cool.



What are you going to do on Tuesday, November 27th?

I LOVE working from home! I miss the office… but my dog will be lonely! My kids are still home - how can I balance this? I can do all of my work easily from home! I need the office environment to keep me focused. I’ve heard all of these and more. We all have feelings around this transition. There is definitely an element of stress in returning to the office, as well as excitement. For the sake of camaraderie, team spirit, Zoom fatigue and that real life interaction makes a difference, we will likely need to be in the office at least some of the time. At the same time following the pandemic, many organizations are becoming more comfortable with their teams working from home and many employees like that arrangement. Given this, many of us will see a hybrid work schedule in our futures, if not already.  A few things to consider for your team with a hybrid work schedule: Communication - Be explicit about the policies and options for your team. Clarify about shared desk/office space, e...
