On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, GivingTuesday takes place. This global movement encourages everyone to donate and give back to the community. This day promotes special campaigns from thousands of nonprofit organizations, giving these companies a “chance to raise even more money than they would on an average day,” according to kindful.com

This holiday is encouraged in the Bishop Kenny communitiy. In response to GivingTuesday, the #iGiveCatholic movement was instituted by Bishops in 2015.

While everyone is encouraged to donate year round, GivingTuesday is an especially inspiring day to “Give Back and Give Catholic”.
