November 28th is #GivingTuesday: an annual celebration of charitable giving unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, that idea has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
This GivingTuesday, join in the generosity movement by making a donation to EENC’s Annual Campaign: We’re Better Together. With an amazing $25,000 match promised, we’re bringing our community together to reach our $25,000 goal, realizing the full match and boosting our funds and future by $50,000 before the end of the year.
In addition to helping us unlock every dollar of our matching grant, GivingTuesday is an excellent time to give because it puts us in the running for special prizes from our fundraising platform, MightyCause. The fun starts now: help put EENC on the leaderboard and in the running for prize drawings with a donation – bonus points for gifts given during the time-restricted (Power Hour and Golden Ticket) prize windows! See all the prizes EENC is eligible for during the MightyCause GivingTuesday event below.
We’ve come far since our first gatherings back in 1990, guided by your desire to be informed, teach with purpose, and ensure everyone is included. We got here because of your dreams, hard work, and investment. Now we need your support to ensure that our shared work can continue.
