You might be wondering what GIVING TUESDAY is. Here is the short version below. You can find the LONG VERSION of Giving Tuesday here.
What is GivingTuesday? What is the goal?
#GivingTuesday is an unprecedented global movement of generosity founded in 2012 by New York’s 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation. For the fourth year in a row, Razoo is hosting a Giving Day on our online giving platform inviting nonprofits and individuals from across America to join together and raise funds for the world changing causes that matter to them.
How does it work?
On November 29th, 2016, Razoo will host a 24-hour giving event encouraging charitable donations through our online giving platform in conjunction with the global #GivingTuesday movement.
Razoo will provide toolkits, training sessions, outreach support, mass media and social media coverage to make it easy for all nonprofits to participate. Each participating organization will have an individualized web page to promote their cause. This web page can also be used for year-round online fundraising.
Individuals will be able to donate money to the nonprofit organizations of their choice on November 29th, 2016. All donations are tax deductible and irrevocable. (Donations will not be refunded). Donors will receive a receipt for their gift. The nonprofit will receive contact information for each donor, unless the donor elects to remain anonymous.
The Razoo Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization which permits donors to advise a re-granting of their donations to other IRS recognized qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations, will accept the gifts and will then re-grant the monies to the nonprofits selected by the donors.

Whole Kids Foundation
Committed to growing healthy kids, Whole Kids Foundation provides schools with salad bars and offers grants for school gardens/related programs, all while sharing cooking and nutrition education for school teachers/staff
Whole Planet Foundation
Seeking to alleviate global poverty, Whole Planet Foundation provides microcredit loans in communities that supply Whole Foods Market stores with products.

SHANE’S INSPIRATION IS PARTICIPATING IN GIVING TUESDAY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE GIFT OF INCLUSIVE PLAY
SHANE’S INSPIRATION, the international nonprofit dedicated to creating inclusive playgrounds and programs that unite children of all abilities, is participating in #GivingTuesday, a day of giving that inspires people to take collective action to improve their communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities they support. Occurring this year on November 28, #GivingTuesday is a global movement that is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday giving season.
In celebration of its 20th Anniversary, Shane’s Inspiration has joined the #GivingTuesday movement with the goal of raising $20,000 to give the gift of play with children of all abilities ~ particularly for children with physical and developmental disabilities such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy and Cerebral Palsy, among other conditions. Shane’s Inspiration is asking supporters to help celebrate 20 years of creating inclusive playgrounds and programs by donating just $20, then nominating five friends to “Give Together for Inclusive Play.”
