Does your church participate in #GivingTuesday? If not, you’re missing a HUGE opportunity to reach more people locally and globally. The goal of #GivingTuesday (aka National Day of Giving) is to create a wave of generosity that touches people across the world. Since its inception in 2012, it’s been an enormous success for faith-based organizations.
Whether your church has participated in #GivingTuesday for a few years or this is your first time taking part, you probably feel the excitement in the air. The idea behind this global day of giving is simple and pure. It reminds people to give to charitable causes when holiday consumerism is at its peak.
Churches everywhere are preparing for the increase in generosity around the holidays. Last year, 25% of overall giving for faith-based organizations happened in November and December, and online giving grew in December for the second year in a row.
Churches and faith-based organizations across the globe are getting ready to participate in #GivingTuesday, and it’s no wonder! With the focus placed on generosity instead of shopping for a moment, it can be a nice break and sound reminder about the true meaning of the Christmas season
