GivingTuesday was created by Henry Timms and Asha Curan in 2012 at the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact—a cultural center in New York City that has been bringing people together around the values of service and giving back since 1874.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. With a mission to build a more just and generous world, the movment is fueled by effective partnerships, contemporary collaborations, powerful business sponsors, and strong social media engagement.
