Join Indiegogo in Supporting #GivingTuesday

#GivingTuesday

#GivingTuesday is a movement to create a global day of giving at the beginning of the holiday season. In its first year (2012), it activated over 2,500 partners and increased online giving by 50%.

Indiegogo is excited to be a part of this movement because we empower individuals, nonprofits, social innovators, families, and communities to increase awareness for causes they care about, mobilize a broader base of supporters, and drive real results.

On December 3rd, we want to amplify the impact of your year-end giving. Check out these recent campaigns for some inspiration:

  • Humans of New York raised adoption fees to bring home an adopted child from Ethiopia within 48 hours.
  • Build Gateway Green generated over $100,000 to tranform 38-acres of unused land into a multi-use, bike park.
  • Kite Patch helped pilot a mosquito-repelling technology to help save lives in Africa.

Here’s how you can join us in supporting #GivingTuesday this year:

Here’s how your efforts will be amplified by working with us:

  • We will contribute $1 to each valid #GivingTuesday campaign for every $20 that campaign raises on December 3rd.
  • Our partner, First Giving, has pledged to donate 1% of the total non-profit funds raised through Indiegogo’s #GivingTuesday campaigns back to a #GivingTuesday campaign.
  • We will host a #GivingTuesday Partner Page, making it easy to find and contribute to them.
