The giving season is upon us, and #GivingTuesday wants to change the way we think about the holiday season. Here is what their Mission Statement has to say about the initiative:

“#GivingTuesday™ is a campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations.”

By creating partnerships, #GivingTuesday has organized efforts with thousands of not for profit organizations in efforts to raise money for particular causes, give back to the community, or raise awareness of ideas or needs.  So, get giving to the charities and organizations that strike your passion and consideration.  Start your holiday season out with some giving with no alternative motive. Here is an example of only one of the thousands of giving opportunities.
