Donate a Day's Wages to Charity Day is an international day that encourages people to donate their income from one working day to those in need. This holiday does not have a fixed date and is most often celebrated at the initiative of individual organizations, foundations, or collectives who choose a convenient day for the campaign.

Idea of the holiday
The idea is to show solidarity with those who find themselves in difficult life situations and to make a modest contribution to improving their conditions. Even one day's earnings can significantly help charitable organizations—providing food, medical assistance, education, or temporary housing for those in need.

How to participate
- Donate an amount equal to your daily earnings to a chosen charity fund
- Support the campaign within your company by proposing collective participation
- Organize an information campaign to inspire others to join
- Donate not only money but also one day of your time by volunteering
- Choose a specific cause or program you trust (e.g., assistance to children, the elderly, homeless animals, educational projects)

Why such a day is needed
- It helps draw attention to poverty, inequality, and the vulnerability of certain population groups
- A simple act of generosity can inspire more regular assistance to others
- Participation in such a day strengthens values of responsibility, empathy, and social solidarity

Interesting facts
- In some countries, large companies include participation in such campaigns in their corporate culture
- The idea of "donating a day's wages to charity" was first widely implemented in the early 2000s in the USA and the UK
- In recent years, such days are actively promoted on social media under corresponding hashtags, helping to reach more people

How to choose an organization for donation
- Pay attention to the transparency of reporting and the reputation of the fund
- Familiarize yourself with the specific programs to which donations are directed
- Ensure that the organization is registered and operates legally
- Choose areas that are personally close to you in spirit and values
