Giving Tuesday is a worldwide initiative which encourages people to do good. The movement was created in the United States in 2012, and has since spread to have a presence in 75 different countries as of 2021. In 2022, like every year, Giving Tuesday is celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday, meaning it falls on 29th November.

A lot of companies and charities match donations to encourage people to give. For example, in 2022, Meta will match up to $7 million in donations made through their platform, as it has done in previous years. Paypal does something similar and indeed matches donations to qualified nonprofits throughout the year, for up to $2500 per person.
