GivingTuesday: Support Your Favorite Nonprofit

For many nonprofit organizations around the world, GivingTuesday is a critical day for fundraising. What began in 2012 as a movement to inspire people and companies to give back to their communities has become a global phenomenon of philanthropy.

Just how phenomenal is it? Well, in 2020, an astounding $2.47 billion was donated to U.S. nonprofits by a reported 34.8 million people on GivingTuesday. America, we applaud your generosity.

Your contributions help charities everywhere reach their goals and achieve new milestones. You might just inspire others to give, too!

The Power of Giving

At Covey, we dare to imagine a world without boundaries—where individuals with disabilities are valued for their unique talents and the different perspectives they share with the community. When you give to Covey, you’re supporting a good cause and so much more.

Maximize with Meta

This year, Facebook (now powered by Meta) has pledged to match $8 million USD in qualifying donations made on Facebook during GivingTuesday! Matching will be done on a first-come, first-served basis and will continue until the $8 million fund runs out.

Here’s How it Works:

  • For the first $2 million, Facebook will match 100% of the donation. For example, if you donate $100, Facebook will also donate $100.
  • For the remaining $6 million, Facebook will match 10% of the donation. For example, if you donate $100, Facebook will also donate $10.

Matching will be available for any US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization eligible to receive donations on Facebook.
