Giving Tuesday – A Crowdsourced List of Non-Profits You Gave Us And A Fun “Giving Challenge”

OK FOLKS. Let’s do something fun. I do love a surprise and this year we didn’t do a flash makeover and the one we had planned and worked on for months (still happening) I couldn’t travel to because of the Covid surge!!! But there are other ways. I don’t need to remind you that so many people have been negatively impacted from this year – physically, financially, mentally, and emotionally – some ALL of those things. So for those of you/us who haven’t and are able to help we wanted to create a fun way to do so. Right now volunteering or even doing a feel-good makeover doesn’t feel as safe and yet most of these small (and big) non-profits are still on the ground, helping others. So I thought it would be fun to do a “Giving Challenge” and see how much we can raise for small non-profits that are especially helping people, families and individuals, frontline workers, kids impacted from this special year from hell – but doesn’t have to be specific to that either.

We crowdsourced from you a list of mostly small non-profits (Thank you!) and researched even more. Of course, I don’t want to diminish the importance of in-person service and volunteering – I actually think the physical act is so much more meaningful than donating, but listen we all have different comfort levels, capacities, and situations right now and we wanted to create an easy and fun way to give.

So here is the list that you gave us that we split into different categories just to make sifting through them a little easier. We wanted to make sure that you had the full list in case another one spoke to you or was in your area (or near to your heart).
