Now more than ever, we must join together and continue to fight for what matters. There are many ways that we can do that, but one of the most exciting is that of #GivingTuesday. A day that is entirely dedicated to reaching out within your local community and giving your support however you can to those charities that need you now more than ever, this is a relatively new concept that has caught fire in the best possible way. For Giving Tuesday 2020, please consider donating right now or reading to learn more!
What is GivingTuesday and What Does It Do?
A day focused on donating to a charity you care for. #GivingTuesday is about more than just forking over some cash. This worldwide event encourages nonprofits and charitable organizations to register so that interested people can contribute from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
Since charities rarely receive any kind of funding, save for grants and one-top offers, they depend entirely on what the common person around them can offer. Giving Tuesday 2020 is especially important due to financial hardships and required changes that have to be made in order to best protect everyone’s safety. The donations are always put towards the core values of the organization that you are supporting. At Hunter Memorial Mural, this is our goal, too.
How Will My Contribution Support the Hunter Memorial Mural?
Designed to help preserve our most important programs, including those which focus on creating our mural, outreach community programs, and education course for the greater Chattanooga community.
Our entire goal is to embrace the kindness of our namesakes and focus on always doing better for our local community members. By choosing us as your charity to donate to, you’ll be giving us the power to make sure that we can continue to keep our doors open, our fundraising needs met, and our programs funded to ensure that we can keep on doing these jobs that are so important.
What Else Can I Do?
If you love the fundraising ideas and the concept of GivingTuesday but don’t have the capacity for it, financially speaking, we totally understand — these are hard times. There are other ways that you can help, though! You can reach out to those around you and ask them to contribute to us at HMM, and do the same thing online!
To keep your support local — just as we do — we also encourage you to look around you and your home to see who you can help. Generosity and giving mean more than just money, after all, and supporting the community could be as simple as raking the leaves from storm drains or helping out a neighbor with other tasks and odd jobs that all contribute to a better overall community.
The time is now to put your money and/or energy to good use. This December 1st, make Giving Tuesday 2020 a day of positive change and movement toward local support! Interested in helping? Donate now!
