Generosity is the new social currency.

The Movement of Meaning

Giving Tuesday started in 2012 as an antidote to consumerism following Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It grew from a simple idea—a global day dedicated to generosity—into a powerful movement that now unites millions across 90+ countries.

It’s not just about charity; it’s about connection. Businesses, nonprofits, and individuals join forces to create tangible change—raising billions for humanitarian, environmental, and social causes. In a world driven by algorithms and automation, Giving Tuesday reminds us that compassion is timeless code. Whether through donations, volunteering, mentorship, or advocacy, the day empowers people to use influence for impact. It proves that digital power can drive genuine progress when guided by empathy.
