Giving Tuesday 2020

How will Americans make a difference?

Giving Tuesday may take on a different form this year, given the enormous personal and financial brunt people have taken amid the ongoing pandemic. This report brings insights into the trends that will define this celebrated day of giving, especially post a record-breaking season last year.
