As we move into the season of giving, it’s an ideal time to reflect on who and what we appreciate and how we can show our thankfulness. Everyone in Georgia benefits in some way from one or more of our state’s hard-working nonprofits – which are all coping with surges in demand for their services, increasing costs, and a reduction in resources, staff, and volunteers.
The Georgia Center for Nonprofits (GCN), which hosts GAgives on GivingTuesday each year, is asking Georgians to use the month of November to show how #GAgivesThanks. Over the next 30 days, they’re putting a spotlight on 30 unique ways to give thanks leading up to GivingTuesday, when the international community comes together for a day of giving in support of the nonprofits that do so much for our communities. Taking place the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, this year on Nov. 28, 2023, GivingTuesday is an international event that highlights the true spirit of the season of giving, following the well-known shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
“Georgia nonprofits continue to rally in challenging times, finding ways to continue serving as a vital connective thread in the fabric of their communities – providing educational opportunities, supplying aid services, rescuing animals, enhancing parks and outdoor experiences, highlighting the arts, and so much more,” said GCN President & CEO Karen Beavor. “Through #GAgivesThanks and GAgives on GivingTuesday, we’re encouraging Georgians to showcase the importance of nonprofits and demonstrate just how much we appreciate the difference they make in our lives. Year after year, Georgians step up to showcase their true generosity with record-breaking levels of giving, both in numbers of individual donors and total amounts raised. We’re eager to champion the importance of our nonprofits and to help steer another record-breaking groundswell of support in 2023.”
