Ten years ago, charities around the world began promoting “Giving Tuesday” on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving – Nov. 29 this year – as a way to encourage donors to give to charities as part of their holiday preparations. Better Business Bureau® (BBB®) encourages donors to give but give wisely.

BBB has Charity Reviews on more than 1,000 local charities and 11,000 charities nationwide, including many national charities accredited with BBB’s Wise Giving Alliance.
