Taking place today, December 2, 2014 – the Tuesday after Thanksgiving – #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create a national moment around the holidays dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are, today, synonymous with holiday shopping.
"WE is delighted to participate in this movement. Working closely with our community, partners and clients to drive fundraising, build awareness, or simply to educate others, has always been in our company DNA," stated Tony Glowacki, CEO of WealthEngine. "WE is in the people business and we hope that our participation sheds light on the critical issues that challenge our society. To continue to assist our communities, the company will also be kicking off new philanthropic initiatives in 2015 – #WE Gives Back."
The 92nd Street Y (92Y) saw an opportunity to channel the generous spirit of the holiday season to inspire action around charitable giving. Now, with the help of the United Nations Foundation and other founding partners, more than 10,000 organizations have joined the movement and are providing creative ways people can embrace #GivingTuesday and collaborate in their giving efforts to create more meaningful results.
"It's been a privilege to work with remarkable leaders all over the country building a movement around #GivingTuesday," said Henry Timms, 92Y's Executive Director. "This initiative has truly been crowd-sourced by some of the smartest and most connected minds among the next generation of philanthropists and entrepreneurs."
