How did Giving Tuesday begin? Who founded the movement, and why is it so important to nonprofits today?

In this episode, we uncover the story of Giving Tuesday, a global philanthropic movement born in 2012 as a counterpoint to the rampant consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I share some research into how this occasion has become a springboard for non-profits to amplify their missions, draw support, and inspire a culture of giving back. We also shine a light on three exemplary global health organizations - Extra Mile Pediatrics, GOHE, and Sign Fracture Care International, that deserve your attention.
