Get ready, Giving Tuesday is Nov. 28

Giving Tuesday is Nov. 28. Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities, is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It presents an opportunity for us to encourage supporters to donate to UC ANR programs and projects.

Here is your checklist to prepare:

1. Register your participation for Giving Tuesday. This ensures you will receive all campaign updates, you can sign up to receive real-time gift notifications on the day, and helps us to better track social media reach. Follow the link to the registration survey below.
2. Get the Campaign-In-A-Box Toolkit. Inside you'll find tailored materials organized by Program/Group. The Editorial Calendar will help you plan what to post, and when, leading up to and on Giving Tuesday. Follow the link to the Box file below.
3. Review your gift funds by Nov. 10 on Online Express using the donate button on the website to ensure your donors can select from the proper funds. To make edits to gift funds, email gifts@ucanr.edu.
4. Watch the recorded webinar “Giving Tuesday: Hot Topics and Tips for Success” for more information.
