Philanthropy Lessons for #GivingTuesday
| |
The first Tuesday after Thanksgiving has become a national movement known as #GivingTuesday. This event kicks off the true season of giving by encouraging charitable donations worldwide. #GivingTuesday is a special way for communities to support non-profits and take advantage of the speed of spreading the word through social media as well as the ease of donating via the internet.
The Guide to Giving curriculum, created by The Nightingale-Bamford School, aims to assist educators in grades K-12 to prepare their students and school communities for #GivingTuesday. This series of nine lessons, which can be adapted for various age groups and classroom schedules, provides educators concrete strategies to engage students in the twin tasks of cultivating a genuine commitment to service and energizing an entire school community around the idea of #GivingTuesday.
