Affirmation to Join Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024
This GivingTuesday, Affirmation: LGBT Mormons, Families, and Friends will inspire generosity by holding local community and virtual events in cities and countries worldwide for and by LGBT Mormons, families, and friends.
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. It will kick off the generosity season this year by inspiring people to give back on December 3, 2024, and throughout the year.
Affirmation is joining Giving Tuesday this year as it kicks off its Fall 2024 Campaign, continuing our conference theme of “Joyfully Authentic.” Affirmation is asking all LGBT Mormons to share how they choose joy, whatever that looks like, in their lives, especially during the upcoming holidays! Stay tuned as Affirmation celebrates the JOY of living an LGBT LDS/Mormon life. On Giving Tuesday and every day of the year, Affirmation seeks to continue creating safety, love, and hope. It also aims to be a refuge to land, heal, share, and be authentic.
Giving Tuesday was launched in 2012 with a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past ten years, this idea has become a global movement that inspires millions to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
“GivingTuesday inspires people all around the world to embrace their power to drive progress around the causes they care about, not just on one day but throughout the year.” said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s CEO, and co-founder. “With country and community leaders, millions of organizations, and countless givers of all kinds, GivingTuesday is creating a shared space where we can see the radical implications of a more generous world.”
