Preparing to Do Good on Giving Tuesday

As the holiday season approaches and you look forward to the deals offered on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday to help treat yourself and your loved ones, don’t forget to support local nonprofits on Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is celebrated each year in the United States on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It marks the beginning of a season of giving. You can use Giving Tuesday as an opportunity to learn about and contribute to the good being done in your community.
