CCF's GivingTuesday Campaign
Started in 2012, GivingTuesday is a global day of generosity that takes place on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year. This year, it will take place on December 2nd. Nonprofits of all sizes can leverage the momentum created by this National Day of Giving to engage their existing supporters and find new ones.
For the sixth year, Cumberland Community Foundation will be participating in GivingTuesday to motivate our community to "give local" and build general operating support for nonprofit organizations that are based in Cumberland County, NC. This year, the campaign will be open to receive donations from November 24th (starting at 9 am) until December 2nd (ending at 11:59 pm).
