Today is Giving Tuesday, Celebrated in 90 Countries!
The Dinar Recaps Team believes in giving back to the helpers who make our world a better place, one community at a time. Nonprofit (NPO) and Nongovernmental (NGO) organizations work on the front lines every day, to make a difference for those in need, to celebrate arts, culture, healthy living, and education for all, among many other causes.
This year, Dinar Recaps has chosen Rise and Share (an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) charity) as our 2024 Giving Tuesday charity of choice!
As a charitable organization that serves other nonprofits, all donations to Rise and Share will support their expansion campaign to serve 100 additional nonprofits by the end of 2025. A gift to Rise and Share is a great choice for our readers who care about multiple causes, from animal welfare to youth service, from chronic illness to the arts, from the military to programs for the aging and in underserved communities.
To maximize a matching gift offer from an anonymous donor, we humbly invite our Dinar Recaps family to join us in supporting Rise and Share this Giving Tuesday. Any donation, no matter how small or large, is invaluable and very much appreciated. And to keep you updated on cause-related news, look for #GivingEveryTuesday posts throughout the new year.

While we wait... let’s think about other ways each of us can help in our local communities, volunteering or donating goods and funds, sharing our talents and championing the causes we care about.
What is Giving Tuesday?
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
GivingTuesday strives to build a world in which the catalytic power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe.
GivingTuesday’s global network collaborates year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life.
What is radical generosity?
While many call on philanthropists, policymakers and grantmakers to repair broken systems, GivingTuesday recognizes that we each can drive an enormous amount of positive change by rooting our everyday actions, decisions and behavior in radical generosity—the concept that the suffering of others should be as intolerable to us as our own suffering. Radical generosity invites people in to give what they can to create systemic change.
When is Giving Tuesday?
Every day, although the annual celebration event will take place this year on December 3, 2024!
Who organizes GivingTuesday?
GivingTuesday is an independent nonprofit organization that is dedicated to unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. The movement is organized in partnership with GivingTuesday’s global network of leaders, partners, communities and generous individuals.
Giving Tuesday’s ultimate goal is to create a more just and generous world, one where generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe.
What is a GivingTuesday COUNTRY movement?
GivingTuesday is hosted in 90 countries by leaders who are passionate about growing radical generosity. They rally nonprofits, businesses, and individuals throughout their countries. To get involved in GivingTuesday in your country, CLICK HERE https://www.givingtuesday.org/global/.
What is a GivingTuesday COMMUNITY movement?
