GivingTuesday shares benefits of starting a Community Giving Day.
Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a webinar with Victoria Leonhardt from GivingTuesday to discuss the benefits of running Giving Days, and how your organization can utilize them to serve your community.
In this engaging, example-driven session, Victoria walked us through the core benefits of running a Giving Day and shared practical strategies for executing one successfully.
