Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past eight years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity. In 2020, at least $2.47 billion was donated in 24 hours in the U.S. alone, with 13% of the adult population participating by offering gifts of time, skills and money, as well as countless acts of kindness inspired by the movement.1
