Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity that will take place on November 28, 2023. Giving Tuesday is described as a generosity movement with the power to unleash generosity and transform communities and the world. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good.

 

You can show your generosity in a variety of ways during Giving Tuesday⁠ by giving some of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community.

 

Locally, in 2022, the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation awarded $1.37 million in 863 grants and $262,000 in 164 scholarships.  There were 749 donors (thank you donors!) in 2022 that awarded donations to area nonprofits, organizations, and scholarships to area students.  The Foundation is here to help donors connect with community needs to improve the quality of life in this area.
