WHAT IS #GIVINGTUESDAY?

We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.

Why give to United Way on Giving Tuesday?

LOCAL  
All dollars donated in (or designated to) Ottawa County stay in Ottawa County. United Way improves lives in part through a rigorous community investment process that invests the community’s generosity in 56 effective programs as well as collaborations and initiatives that are improving EDUCATION, FINANCIAL STABILITY, HEALTH and BASIC NEEDS in Ottawa County. The process is transparent, volunteer-driven, and ensures that every dollar donated is spent wisely where it is needed most.

LONG-TERM RESULTS
Greater Ottawa County United Way does more than fund programs. We build relationships and partner with people, organizations, and businesses throughout the community who bring the passion, resources, and expertise needed to get things done. Together, we assess and address the community’s most pressing and prevalent needs, while working toward long-term solutions that prevent problems from happening.

LEVERAGE  
Greater Ottawa County United Way streamlines your charitable giving. With one donation, you assist our neighbors at every age and stage of life, from expectant mothers to young children, youth, working families, children and adults with disabilities, vulnerable seniors, and more. The dollars invested in local programs leverage even more dollars from other funding sources. In 2014, for every dollar donated to United Way’s campaign, Ottawa County received $3.50 in community benefit.
