Are you pro or con?
Do you embrace the concept and see rewards for your cause, or do you find it more of a nuisance, struggling to stand out among the noise? Maybe you’re on the fence, not sure whether it truly delivers value.
Let’s dive into it.
Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages charitable giving during the post-holiday shopping period. It was inspired by the idea of tikkun olam—”mend the world”—and has become a powerful force in the nonprofit sector. Large organizations have championed it, but how well does it work for the smaller causes?
The Experience of Giving Tuesday
Personally, I’ve seen hundreds of requests flood inboxes on that day alone. Some came from organizations I deeply care about and have supported for years. Others? Names that were either familiar or completely new to me. In the end, the sheer volume turned it all into background noise, and it became harder to feel connected to any individual appeal.
Does that resonate with you?
Your Take on Giving Tuesday
What’s your experience with Giving Tuesday? Is it a helpful tool for your organization? Or is it difficult to rise above the noise?
The challenge for many nonprofits is balancing short-term giving with long-term donor relationships. Does Giving Tuesday help you build those lasting connections, or does it feel like a one-time spike with no lasting impact?
Does Giving Tuesday Actually Work?
For many, Giving Tuesday seems to hold value. But does it create a long-term connection with supporters, or is it simply a quick fix in a crowded space?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with this initiative. Whether it works for you or not, your insights could shed light on its true effectiveness in the nonprofit landscape.
