GivingTuesday<\/a> is\u00a0an international\u00a0day of giving to charity during the holiday season and is fueled by the power of collaboration and social media. And by giving to a nonprofit organization during the holiday season, there are many benefits. GivingTuesday<\/span> is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and popular shopping events, such as Cyber Monday and Black Friday.<\/p>\n

GivingTuesday And How You Can Make A Change<\/h2>\n

This annual tradition was started in 2012 by the 92nd<\/sup> Y in NYC and was started to support philanthropy throughout the year. \u00a0You get to support causes that are important to you. For example, you may not be a micro-biologist\u00a0who is searching for a micro-organism that could be a cure for cancer.\u00a0 However,\u00a0you can help find the cure by giving to local nonprofits. We hope that you have a\u00a0moment to realize that by helping others will give you a feeling of satisfaction. Giving will just give you back that good feeling. Plus, you can take a tax deduction when you donate to an IRS-approved charity.<\/p>\n

NonProfit Organizations<\/h2>\n

Mooresville and surrounding areas have a multitude of local non profits ranging from Educational Organizations to Pet Adoption, such as the Solace For Children<\/a>, Lake Norman Humane<\/a>, Stocks For Tots<\/a>, The Dale Jr. Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and many more. From health nonprofits and animal rights to educational\u00a0and international aide organizations, the choices are endless. You can even volunteer your time to celebrate #GivingTuesday<\/span>. Organize a local toy drive, prepare a meal for your local police department, donate used goods to a charity or donate food to a local food bank during the holidays. Then, post, share, and\/or tweet about it using the hashtag #GivingTuesday<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Join In<\/h2>\n

#GivingTuesday<\/span><\/a> exemplifies the spirit of giving back and reminds us all that the holiday season is a special time of year. It\u2019s also a national call to action to give to those less fortunate inside or outside your community. Other ways to celebrate this rather new movement is to create a #GivingTuesday<\/span> theme each Tuesday specific to your cause. Reach out to your network and give them a message about what this day is all about. You can add a note about your shoutout to your newsletters, emails and social media posts. Create social media posts that use hashtags with key words being #GivingTuesday<\/span>, #charities,#nonprofits and #fundraisers. Even add the logo to all of your materials, including offline and online.<\/p>\n

This year, be sure to get proactive with #GivingTuesday<\/span><\/a>. Join the cause\u00a0and give today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
