GivingTuesday2#GivingTuesday on December 1, 2015 is a global day dedicated to giving back.

On that day, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving.

Anyone, anywhere can get involved in #GivingTuesday and give back in a way that is meaningful to them. From fundraising to volunteering to pro bono services, #GivingTuesday is a great way to engage your community and to become a part of a larger worldwide movement that promotes generosity.

Some of these programs include providing scholarships to social work students, providing tools to practitioners in the field, and spreading awareness of the importance of Social Workers internationally. The Foundation is proud to partner with #GivingTuesday. You can participate in #GivingTuesday and support the NASW Foundation by donating online.
