In preparation for this year’s Giving Tuesday and the holiday season, New York Attorney General Letitia James released her annual “Pennies for Charity” report (pdf) to provide guidance for donors and charities.
Created in 2012, Giving Tuesday takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States. Its website describes the day as “a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.” Giving Tuesday also shares the same name with an independent nonprofit that supports the movement.
