Why celebrating fundraising matters: reflections on judging the National Fundraising Awards
Professor Beth Breeze shares reflections of judging the National Fundraising Awards.
Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a day to celebrate and encourage giving in all its forms. It is an unique opportunity for charities and fundraisers to engage supporters, inspire giving and strengthen their fundraising campaigns.
The Chartered Institute of Fundraising offers expert guidance to help fundraising organisations plan creative campaigns, boost donations to charitable organisations, and connect more meaningfully with donors and communities across the UK.
Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the last decade, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
You can volunteer your time; donate money; share your skills; campaign for something; donate goods, food, or clothes; arrange a community event such as a street or park clean-up or a coffee morning, organise a fundraising event, or inspire and encourage your network to do something to support a good cause. The list really is endless.
Giving Tuesday is unique in that is it owned by each of the partners involved. An unbranded campaign where our partners are encouraged to personalise the activities, branding and logos to make Giving Tuesday the best it can be for them.
This year #GivingTuesday will take place on 1 December.
