GivingTuesday Global has announced #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of giving and unity, set to take place on May 5, 2020 as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.  The goal is to do what GivingTuesday does best: rally the world to drive a massive, collective spike of generosity, citizen engagement, business and philanthropy activation, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world. The GivingTuesday Canada team has updated their website to feature all the information you need regarding #GivingTuesdayNow.  Check it out and keep an eye out as they continue to add more content. You can also access #GivingTuesdayNow logos and social media assets here.  

Additionally, GivingTuesday Canada is creating a map to highlight the generosity that’s been happening all around the world in response to COVID-19. Share how you’ve been giving and reporting acts of kindness you’ve witnessed. Pin your story to the global map here.
