Why is GivingTuesday Powerful?
• A new narrative around giving and volunteerism.
• The synergies in leveraging collective relationships, media partners and communication assets.
• A powerful “hook” to rally major social media, outdoor media, traditional media partners to help us “tell the story” about the power of giving.
• A comprehensive messaging platform and coordinated communication strategy that will support all participants.
• For individuals, it is an opportunity to be part of a global celebration of generosity. #GivingTuesdayCa is something that everyone can share with friends, family and colleagues.

Participation Ideas
Fundraising
Ask for Donations
Use the #GivingTuesdayCa movement as a way to kick-off your year-end fundraising appeals
CREATE A SPECIFIC #GivingTuesdayCa CUSTOM DONATE NOW PAGE
• CanadaHelps Custom Donate Now pages can be created for specific funds or campaigns.
• Create a specific #GivingTuesdayCa page and solicit donations on December 2nd.
• Create a dialogue with your community about how they give gifts and give back at this time of the year
• Create a gift catalogue for your charity and promote the giving of meaningful gifts
• Encourage donations in honour of others
• Encourage people to “give the gift of giving” with CanadaHelps Charity Gift Cards
Promote Charitable Gifts for the Holidays
HEIFER INTERNATIONAL
• Created an infographic that highlighted the power of shopping dollars when used for altruistic purposes • “Does it surprise you that 79% of
Americans polled would rather have a donation made in their name rather than a gift they know they'll never use? That's nearly 80 percent of your shopping list!”
• Created an online savings calculator that helped people figure out how much they saved on Black Friday & Cyber Monday…then encouraged people to put those savings towards Heifer International
• Engagement methods: PR, email, social media
Corporate Partnerships
FIND A MATCHING PARTNER
• Find a local company that would like to get involved in #GivingTuesdayCa
• Ask them to match donations made to your organization on December 2nd
• Promote the match to your donors and let them know that their donations can have a greater impact if they give on #GivingTuesdayCa
• A matching appeal is a great way to leverage existing/planned donations
Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia & Deloitte
Deloitte matched up to $5,000 in donations from individuals, allowing the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia to raise over $10k!
Awareness Raising through Social Media
USE TWITTER & OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA
Use the #GivingTuesdayCa hashtag to join the larger GivingTuesday conversation
SHARE GIVING STORIES
• Ask your supporters to send in a photo or short video about why they give
• Give them a simple statement to
complete such as “I give because…” or “I give back by…” to make it easy for them to get involved
• On December 2, post the contributions to your social media channels
#Unselfie
Unselfies are personal images posted on social feeds that showcase generosity
American Red Cross #GiveWithMeaning
GIVE KIDS THE WORLD VILLAGE
• Rolled out a social media and email campaign two weeks prior asking their Facebook and Twitter followers to make a donation
• Changed their cover photos on Facebook and Twitter with creative from their #GivingTuesday campaign
• Fortunate enough to have an anonymous donor match donations up to $10,000 • The matching donation really encouraged people to donate and created a sense of
urgency • Garnered 121 new donors, and the average donation was $124 • Lessons learned: start earlier, and engage fans more
Donor or Volunteer Recognition
SAY THANKS
• Use #GivingTuesdayCa as an opportunity to give back to your supporters and thank them!
• Show how much your organization appreciates its volunteers, donors, and sponsors by making a short video
