#GivingTuesday takes place each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and serves as a global celebration of generosity, inspiring people everywhere to make a positive impact. This year, we invite you to support a local nonprofit in honor of #GivingTuesday. We’ve highlighted more than a dozen incredible organizations for you to explore.

If you’re able, these local groups would be truly grateful for a monetary contribution. If donating isn’t an option, there are still plenty of meaningful ways to show your support:

• Follow them on social media
• Interact with their content
• Join their newsletter list
• Help spread the word—share this page with others or tell friends and family about a nonprofit whose mission inspires you.
