#GivingTuesday

#GivingTuesday, a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration, is celebrating its fifth year anniversary.

Celebrated in the U.S after the shopping events of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. As giving days have increased in popularity, 92nd Street Y, the founder of #GivingTuesday, joins Americans for the Arts for a look at the implications for participating arts organizations. Anne Katz, executive director of Arts Wisconsin, talks about her community's experiences in planning and implementing successful giving days.

Learn about the core tenets of #GivingTuesday from its founders and how your organization can successfully become involved in the movement and hear from a peer in the field about how they've made partners in the community, developed messaging and hooks, and promoted their giving days for successful and meaningful results.
