There’s just something about the holiday season that makes people more generous. People across the country are opening up their wallets and finding causes to support – Giving Tuesday is a great way to bring some holiday cheer into your classroom!
Double your Donations on #GivingTuesday
We’ve been hard at work getting ready to support you during Giving Tuesday on November 28, 2017. Last year we gave out $5,000 in matching donations on Giving Tuesday. That turned out to be so successful that we’re expanding the match to $30,000!
Only on November 28th we’ll be matching donations of up to $50!
In past years, AdoptAClassroom.org teachers have been tremendously successful raising money on #GivingTuesday. Here a couple simple ways you can raise awareness and stock your classroom:
- Email your friends, family and supporters.
- There’s a good chance that the people in your life are already planning on making a donation on #GivingTuesday. This is a great chance to direct some of that goodwill towards your classroom!
- Post on Social Media
- Research shows that donors are increasingly inspired to give by posts on social media. Use the #GivingTuesday hashtag to draw attention to your classroom and follow our easy guide to making the perfect social media post!
Psst! Be sure to check out our Facebook page on Giving Tuesday for an easy way to win some funds for your classroom.
Get the word out however you like – and make sure everyone knows that for one special day, their donation will have double the impact!
