You’ve heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, two intense days of discounts and deals ironically following a day of thanks. But don’t forget GivingTuesday, five days after Thanksgiving.

Since 2012, Giving Tuesday has become a day of heightened generosity when people give to their favorite charities.

There are official Giving Tuesday movements in 80 countries. On their website, the organization offers some ways you can participate this year.

Consider Less Visible Causes

For lesser known charities, monetary donations can translate into large impacts. In addition to providing direct relief on the ground, donations also help nonprofit employees continue doing good work.

For Giving Tuesday, you can support some lesser-known but high-impact local charities. To donate to any of them, follow the links provided.
