Common Impact Connections Newsletter: Giving Tuesday Edition
Happy Thanksgiving! With the holiday season now upon us, you may be thinking about how you can contribute to the causes you care about most. While donating is a popular avenue of support, you can also make a difference by giving your time, talents and expertise! Through skills-based volunteerism, you can help your favorite organizations optimize their operations to better deliver on their missions and serve their constituents.
Join our Giving Tuesday Twitter chat on December 3rd at 2pm ET/10am PT to hear real stories of how giving skills has helped nonprofits and social impact organizations build capacity!
Eager to get involved? Next week, we'll be sharing opportunities for individual skills-based volunteers and, as always, you can reach out to info@commonimpact.org to inquire about pro bono programs for your company or organization!
Whether you choose to give your time, talent or treasure this holiday season, we thank you for your generosity and commitment to strengthening the social sector!
