Giving Tuesday is celebrated on the following Tuesday after the Thanksgiving Day. #Giving Tuesday received a global appeal after its launch in 2012. This day encourages people to indulge in charitable activity whether in the form of kind or donations for non-profit organizations. It could be the simplest of charitable activity like a thought posted in social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter etc.
