37. What is Giving Tuesday?

How did Giving Tuesday begin? Who founded the movement, and why is it so important to nonprofits today? 

In this episode, we uncover the story of Giving Tuesday, a global philanthropic movement born in 2012 as a counterpoint to the rampant consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I share some research into how this occasion has become a springboard for non-profits to amplify their missions, draw support, and inspire a culture of giving back. We also shine a light on three exemplary global health organizations - Extra Mile Pediatrics, GOHE, and Sign Fracture Care International, that deserve your attention.
