For more than a decade, Giving Tuesday has been one of the biggest fundraising days of the year, raising nearly $3.1 billion last year alone.
This designation was created to encourage people to volunteer, donate and give back to their community. This Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3, there are many great ways to give back and ensure you are making the most of this special holiday.
Make the most of your giving
Giving Tuesday is one of the few unique days where nonprofits will match donations. This year, donations made to Scouting America Grand Canyon Council will receive a 100% match. In addition, a generous donor has pledged an additional $100,000 if GCC receives 500 individual donors. These funds allow GCC to provide youth throughout Arizona with guidance in character development, citizenship training, outdoor adventures and personal fitness.
“Every gift, large or small, will bring us closer to this milestone, amplifying our local impact on Scouting and strengthening our community,” says Andy Price, GCC Scout executive.
