Have you ever heard of Giving Tuesday? As someone who does fundraising, it’s something that’s become really popular in the last few years. A few years ago, someone decided that after all of this crazy money spending weekend, why not have a day devoted to giving back to others? Giving Tuesday quickly emerged and it’s now a day that a lot of nonprofits have taken to heart and found ways to embrace.
A few weeks ago I talked about Alex and Ani and their Charity by Design line, so today I wanted to share with you what they’re doing for giving Tuesday.
For today only, Alex and Ani is promising that for every web purchase, retweet or share of their #GivingTuesday posts, they will donate one Plumpy Nut to nourish a child in an underdeveloped country. They’re working with the nonprofit Edesia to help accomplish this goal and provide for a child in need.
Even better, Alex and Ani will still donate a portion of the sales of each of their Charity by Design bracelets back to the chosen nonprofit. Some of my top picks from that line? Arrows of Friendship, North Star, Stand Up, and Zest for Life.
If this isn’t one of the best ways to give back, help a child in need, and cross some names off of your gift list, I really don’t know what would be.
Note: This post is sponsored by Alex and Ani, but as always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Something Good!
