History of the holiday
The idea of Giving Tuesday emerged in 2012 in the United States as a response to commercial holidays — Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Organizers wanted to create a day dedicated not to consumption, but to good deeds and community support. Since then, the holiday has spread worldwide and gained global significance.
Purpose of the holiday
The main goal is to motivate people to perform charitable acts, donate money, time, or resources to help those in need, and to promote a culture of mutual aid and social responsibility.

Giving Tuesday is accompanied by numerous initiatives and events:
* charity campaigns and fundraising for social and medical organizations;
* volunteer actions and assistance to local communities;
* sharing information about nonprofit projects on social media;
* corporate initiatives supporting charitable projects;
* organizing events, lectures, and workshops aimed at increasing social responsibility.
Modern significance
Today, Giving Tuesday serves as a global platform for good deeds, bringing together millions of people worldwide. The holiday emphasizes the value of generosity, cooperation, and mutual support in modern society.
