What assumptions is your team making about #GivingTuesday? The team at GivingTuesday debunks three myths about this fundraising day.     1. If you think people are being asked to donate too often, think again. 50% of donors don't remember being asked to donate.     2. GivingTuesday isn’t just about donating money. 32% of participants took part in multiple ways, giving a combination of time, money, and/or goods.     3. GivingTuesday is more than a day of one-off gifts. It's an opportunity for more giving all year. In 2022, GivingTuesday surpassed New Year’s Eve as the biggest day of the year for new donor acquisition, and 12% of monthly recurring donors got their start by donating on GivingTuesday.     Learn more about the data and how to make the most of them in this article by Celeste Flores and Samir Khan of GivingTuesday: https://lnkd.in/e9Gx2dfe

Today is International Charity Day! Did you know that 4.3 billion people worldwide helped someone they didn’t know, volunteered time, or donated money to a good cause in 2024? (World Giving Index 2024 Global Trends in Generosity) It’s no surprise that research indicates that giving to others actually puts donors in a good mood. This is especially the case, studies show, in three ways: –The act of giving feels good in the moment –People like having choices about their giving –People like to see the results of their giving We know this intuitively based on our own experiences. For instance, many of us enjoy picking out a birthday gift for a friend or family member and watching them open it. The same good feelings translate to charitable giving.

We all have those bottles we’ve received as gifts or giveaways and never used. Why not give them a new life? 🤝 Donate your unused water bottles to a local charity, school, or community center where they can be put to good use. Snap a picture of the bottles you're donating and share it to inspire others! Let’s make generosity and decluttering part of our routine. #DeclutterForGood #DonateDontWaste #SustainableLiving #GotClutterGetOrganized
