BEHIND GIVING TUESDAY
As a response to “Black Friday” and “Small Business Saturday,” Giving Tuesday is held the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It’s designed to encourage community support of nonprofit organizations during the holiday season and has been globally recognized as a "generosity movement” in philanthropy.
For Future Front, Giving Tuesday is a moment to recognize that community is what keeps us here.
