Katie BaileyGiving Tuesday is just around the corner! On December 1, the Credit Union Impact Foundation will join millions of people and organizations around the world in celebrating Giving Tuesday, a global movement dedicated to generosity, community involvement, and giving back.
Established in 2012, Giving Tuesday takes place each year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. What began as a simple idea to encourage people to do good has grown into a worldwide movement that inspires individuals, businesses, and organizations to support causes that make a difference. Whether through donations, volunteering, or acts of kindness, Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for everyone to contribute in a meaningful way.
For the credit union movement, the spirit of Giving Tuesday aligns closely with our people helping people philosophy. Through grants, scholarships, and initiatives that strengthen credit unions and the communities they serve, the Foundation puts that philosophy into action year-round. Contributions help expand access to professional development, support credit unions facing challenges, and create opportunities for meaningful community impact.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re celebrating the difference made possible through the generosity of our credit union community while looking ahead to the opportunities we can create together.
Mark your calendar for December 1! In the coming weeks, we’ll share more about the Foundation’s work, highlight the people and programs benefiting from its support, and show how you can get involved.
