Celebrate DC's Philanthropic Traditions By Participating in #GivingTuesday

Little Gifts Make a Huge Difference on #GivingTuesday

Next Tuesday, December 3rd, the Humanities Council will join with thousands of other organizations and businesses across the country to launch #GivingTuesday – a national day of giving that kicks off the holiday season. #GivingTuesday follows on the heels of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday as an official day dedicated to philanthropy, volunteerism, and giving back to our communities.

For #GivingTuesday, the Humanities Council will launch a social media fundraising campaign, so that we can raise funds to support our mission to connect every DC resident to the city’s past, present, and future. Support the Humanities Council on #GivingTuesday so that we can continue to provide essential funding to nonprofits across the city, convene civic discussion programs like our Humantinis, and encourage residents to research and document pieces of DC’s historical narrative through our DC Community Heritage Project. Start the holiday season off with a gift to your entire city by donating to the Council on Tuesday, December 3rd!
