Since 2012, GivingTuesday has been designated around the world as “a day that encourages people to do good.” While the focus tends to be on making a holiday season financial donation to a community nonprofit, that’s not the only way to get involved; many organizations also are looking for volunteers. (Find the United Way volunteer page here and the Isthmus Volunteer Guide here.)
Here’s a roundup of the Madison-area GivingTuesday participants in 2024 we’ve heard about so far. If your organization is participating in GivingTuesday, email [email protected] to be added to this list.
