This year, Giving Tuesday falls on November 30 and people around the world are using the day to support fellow neighbors in need.

Giving Tuesday, often described as a global generosity movement, is held each year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. 

Since this first annual day of giving in 2012, nonprofits in the United States have raised more than $1.9 billion. In 2019, nonprofits in the US raised more than $500 million dollars online alone.

Locally, one group is uniting a host of Louisiana-based nonprofits to make the best of Giving Tuesday.

The group, 225GIVES has partnered with Capital Area United Way (CAUW) to set up a 24-hour online giving day on Giving Tuesday.
