Giving Tuesday is November 30 - Repost from the National Council of Nonprofits

Nonprofits frequently ask, "Should we be participating in Giving Tuesday?" There's no simple answer. It's not necessarily right for every organization. Perhaps your small nonprofit doesn't have the capacity to engage fruitfully. Some nonprofits feel that donors are inundated with too many competing messages from nonprofits on Giving Tuesday. Your calendar or messaging might prioritize other events, such as a local giving day, or perhaps your board prefers to use the time to recognize and engage loyal donors rather than reaching for new ones (some nonprofits call it "Giving Thanks Tuesday").

Every element of your nonprofit's fundraising strategy has both strengths and opportunity costs - if you're doing one thing, chances are you're giving up something else. As long as your plan is thoughtful and deliberate, and as long as you're testing and adjusting the plan systematically, you should feel free to determine the development calendar that works best for your nonprofit.

Still, many nonprofits raise significant funds through Giving Tuesday, it can be a terrific capacity-builder for smaller organizations, and it offers an opportunity to leverage various kinds of matches, among many other strengths. If your plan does call for engagement in Giving Tuesday, you're probably creating your Giving Tuesday timeline and materials by now. The Giving Tuesday website has myriad resources<https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=203399&qid=9517370> available at no cost - many of which are helpful any time of year - including a workbook<https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=203400&qid=9517370> you can download and adapt for your organization. The workbook comes with a video companion guide<https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=203401&qid=9517370> with captions available in English and Spanish.
