Join the Global Movement!
Everyone knows about the BlackFriday and CyberMonday. Now help me spread the word about GivingTuesday……………..RadwanChowdhury
To Love without condition,
To talk without intention,
To give without reason,
And to care without expectation…....
Every day, children die needlessly from preventable causes – and they don't have to.
UDiON Foundation
takes proven, low-cost methods that save children's lives and makes
them available to the most vulnerable, hardest-to-reach children.
We have a day for giving thanks.
We have two for getting deals.
It’s time to have a day for giving back.

What is GivingTuesday?
GivingTuesday is a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season added to the calendar on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. In the same way that
retail stores take part in Black Friday,
we want the giving community to come together for #GivingTuesday. We
ask that partners create and commit to a project for/on #GivingTuesday
and then help spread the word to their networks.
How did GivingTuesday start?
New York’s 92nd Street Y was the catalyst
and incubator for #GivingTuesday, bringing the expertise of 139 years of
community-management to the project and providing #GivingTuesday a
home. The United Nations
Foundation joined as partners, bringing their strategic and
communications clout to the project. An amazing team of influencers then
offered their ideas, contacts and wisdom to help shape and improve the
concept. A powerful list of corporations and non-profits
agreed to be founding partners, helping spread the word and committing
to their own #GivingTuesday initiatives. Since then, countless
organizations, friends and leaders have all added their support and
talents to make GivingTuesday a reality.
Did GivingTuesday make a difference last year?
In 2012, more than 2,500 recognized
#GivingTuesday partners from all 50 states of the United States. The
collective efforts of partners, donors and advocates helped fuel a
marked increase in charitable giving
on GivingTuesday.
Who can participate?
Everyone! GivingTuesday is an initiative
to start the giving season and we encourage everyone to be involved with
it. However, to be an official partner, you must be a registered
non-profit a 501(c)3 in the
United States with a specific GivingTuesday initiative, or a
for-profit business, school, religious or community group who commit to
spearhead a project that will benefit at least one registered charity or
non-profit. Families and individuals are encouraged
to be generous in whatever ways matter to them, whether that means
volunteering at a local charity or donating to a favorite cause.
