What is Giving Tuesday?

● GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world.

● GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

why are we participating?

• For our organization, GivingTuesday is a chance to talk about our values and why we care so much about the work that we do.

• We’ve been able to use GivingTuesday to introduce new people to the PAT Fund so they will become year-round supporters of our mission of helping local musicians

• For us, this is a chance to be part of a bigger movement and a bigger community. GivingTuesday is a global phenomenon.
