Giving Tuesday 2023: The International Day of Generosity

After Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday, it's Giving Tuesday! Canadians donated nearly $44 million in one day—can you believe it? It's a great opportunity to celebrate and encourage others to do good!

Giving Tuesday: What is it?

The movement, now active in 75 countries, comes just after the famous days that push us to overconsume. Created in 2012, Giving Tuesday is the global day dedicated to giving back!

In Canada, it has been celebrated since 2012 and is supported by CanadaDon.org with the support of the Rideau Hall Foundation. Across the country, 47 local community movements were supported and $43.6 million was raised online in 24 hours across all participating platforms. More than 270 kg of food was also donated to people in need!

While the solidarity movement lasts only one day, as its name suggests, many campaigns have been underway for several weeks now and will continue through December. #GivingEveryTuesday has also been launched, as a weekly reminder to show kindness throughout the year.

Who can participate?

It's free, and anyone can participate and help others in any way they can. It's a collective effort that encourages charities, small businesses, large corporations, and families to do good together.
