5 Ways to Give for #GivingTuesday for Brands and Businesses

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement founded in 2012 as a simple idea – a day to encourage people to do good. This idea has grown to inspire hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

This year’s #GivingTuesday will be celebrated on November 29.

Although nonprofits have an exceptionally strong presence on GivingTuesday, businesses and brands don’t need to be left behind. GivingTuesday participation can rally employees meaningfully, connecting your team and organization with the greater community. It’s not too late to plan your activities!

Participate in a way that works for you and your team.

There’s still time to get creative this year. Some ideas include creating incentives for employees to give and volunteer, showing gratitude for employees on social media, and surprising essential workers with gift baskets.

Here are 5 ways to give on #GivingTuesday.

1.) Give your voice.

Raise awareness of the cause that matters to you, like veterans, children, health equity, or disaster relief. CHC can create a custom cause for you or share our year-round employee engagement calendar and other tools to help you identify a cause. Next, share your cause through all your channels – social media, newsletter, intranet, and more.

2.) Give your time or talent.

Find volunteer opportunities by zip code or keyword on our volunteer platform, or CHC can help you with custom virtual and in-person volunteering activities, plus provide a volunteer on the spot guide for more ideas.

3.) Give money.

CHC can create a custom, branded giving site for your company, employees, customers and community to support the causes of your choice, disaster relief, or all 501c3 nonprofits. Plus you can offer a corporate match or other incentive to encourage participation. CHC corporate partners can connect with us directly for access to additional marketing tools and to be set up with CHC’s online Employee Engagement Platform to create a #GivingTuesday solicitation platform.

4.) Give goods.

CHC can help with ideas for giving goods, donating in-kind items and more. Ask for a copy of our year-round employee engagement guide, volunteer on the spot guide and other tools.

5.) Inspire others.

Share how you’re giving back on social media. Tag @CHCimpact so we can spread the word, too. Looking for #GivingTuesday logos and images? Download the logos or design your own graphics in Canva for sharing on social media and in internal communications.
