Giving Tuesday 2020
On November 27, 2018, take some of your savings from four days of gluttonous spending over the Thanksgiving weekend with a donation to a charitable organization. On #GivingTuesday, thousands of nonprofits will be fundraising to support themselves for the next year.
When is Giving Tuesday 2018?
Giving Tuesday is the first Tuesday after the Thanksgiving weekend (as celebrated in the United States). It follows immediately after Cyber Monday. Although some organizations have promoted #GivingTuesday as the first Tuesday in December, an early Thanksgiving will actually push the date in November for the next few years.
The official US Giving Tuesday website is has already posted the date as November 27, 2018. For additional years, visit our page on Giving Tuesday dates.
