Today is Giving Tuesday, the seventh annual global day devoted to charity. Last year charities brought in $301 million. How will they do this year? Check this space all day to see what the philanthropy world is saying.
It’s easy to see what divides us, but on #GivingTuesday millions of people in dozens of countries will re-affirm something we all share: a capacity to care for one another. Join them.

#MyGivingStory begins in high school, where the nuns at Ursuline Academy taught me a lesson I still carry with me today: It only takes one person to make a difference in somebody else’s life. On this #GivingTuesday, share your giving story: https://t.co/QU7fUpOpXg pic.twitter.com/UXn8P6bsAJ

Before we got married, Melinda and I talked about how we would give back. We agreed that, once you’ve taken care of your family, the best use of extra wealth is to help make the world a better place. Join us in one of our favorite traditions https://t.co/tlrxu6FYjQ #GivingTuesday pic.twitter.com/BjLkaiv0ks

This #GivingTuesday, an awareness is rising.
We don’t just need more giving. We need less ruthless taking.
We don’t just need the rich to do good. We need them to do less harm.
We don’t just need the powerful donating. We need them stepping off backs. https://t.co/nwI8fzVC71
