Happy Giving Tuesday!

National Day of Giving encourages giving back. It takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
…
Quite simply, take advantage of all the holiday deals to add to your charitable giving. Combined with your family, friends, local and national organizations and through the power of social media, Day of Giving can become a tradition worth passing on.

My tradition for the day, which I began On Giving Tuesday 2017, then continued in 2018 and last year, is to <donate to my favorite non-profit, Coffee Party USA.  I am a director and officer of the organization and I just donated $10.00 to it for Giving Tuesday. In addition, I’m asking my readers to match my donation.  Click on the red “Please donate” button on the lower left corner of your screen and follow the instructions, including entering $10.00 in the “Other” box. However, if you want to donate more, be our guest!

As for what my donation and yours will do for Coffee Party USA, our supporters, and our country, I’m going to be a good environmentalist and recycle what I wrote originally in Happy National Coffee Ice Cream Day from Coffee Party USA! and reused in Celebrate National Coffee Day 2019 by donating to Coffee Party USA.

Coffee Party USA ia a 501c(4) nonprofit social welfare organization dedicated to empowering and connecting communities to reclaim our government for the people. To support its efforts, which include educating the public on our website and on our Facebook page, registering people to vote with our partners TurboVote and National Voter Registration Day, and reminding them to vote through our Voter Buddy program, please consider donating. A donation of $10.00 for ten years of Coffee Party USA is recommended. For those who wish to give at a higher level of support and be more involved in the organization, please consider becoming a member [by clicking on the blue button that says “Become a member” in the lower right corner of your screen]. To do the valuable work of the Coffee Party…volunteer [by clicking on “Volunteer” in the navigation bar at the top of the page]. Not only will Coffee Party USA thank you for it, so will the country!

Thanks for donating! Now treat yourself. Since today is National Pie Day, eat a slice of pie. If you want something healthier, today is also National Red Apple Day, so you can eat that instead.

Your donation will allow "you to be a part of the important work of Coffee Party USA as we empower and connect communities to reclaim our government for the people." It will go to improving our website, the new version of which Coffee Party USA debuted in October and registering people to vote with our partners TurboVote and National Voter Registration Day. There are municipal and some state elections coming up this year and people need to be registered and reminded to vote in them.

*I also donated $40.00 last month to match the $40.00 I paid to vote in the 2019 Saturn Awards. I decided this year that I would make a matching donation to Coffee Party USA for any donation I made to any other nonprofit this year. That means that I will match the renewal of my membership to the Detroit Zoo later this month. That would be $88.00 for a dual membership. I'm not asking my readers to match those donations, but if any of you did, the Coffee Party and I would appreciate you and your donation!

We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Quite simply, take advantage of all the holiday deals to add to your charitable giving. Combined with your family, friends, local and national organizations and through the power of social media, National Day of Giving can become a tradition worth passing on. Use #GivingTuesday to post on social media.

HISTORY

In 2012, 92nd Street Y in New York City created National Day of Giving to bring focus to the charitable season in the wake of the commercialized Black Friday and Cyber Monday. More commonly referred to as #GivingTuesday, National Day of Giving harnesses the power of social media to give back around the world and throughout the year.

Coffee Party on!
