As a registered non-profit KHOL is participating in Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is a national movement that is making its way to Jackson Hole. After all your shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Tuesday is the day to contribute to your favorite non-profits.

Jackson Hole non-profits and local businesses are joining forces to make this a successful day of giving back. Join us TOMORROW by donating a portion of your day’s revenue to the non-profit of your choice.

GivingTuesday General FAQs

Question: What is GivingTuesday™?

Answer: #GivingTuesday™ (#GT) is a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season added to the calendar on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The second annual GivingTuesday is on December 3, 2013. In the same way that retail stores take part in Black Friday, we want the giving community to come together for #GivingTuesday. We ask that partners create and commit to a project for/on #GivingTuesday and then help spread the word to their networks.

Question: What is GivingTuesday’s mission?

Answer: GivingTuesday™ is a campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support non-profit organizations.

Question: How did GivingTuesday start?

Answer: New York’s 92nd Street Y was the catalyst and incubator for #GivingTuesday, bringing the expertise of 139 years of community-management to the project and providing #GivingTuesday a home. The United Nations Foundation joined as partners, bringing their strategic and communications clout to the project. An amazing team of influencers then offered their ideas, contacts and wisdom to help shape and improve the concept. A powerful list of corporations and non-profits agreed to be founding partners, helping spread the word and committing to their own GivingTuesday initiatives. Since then, countless organizations, friends and leaders have all added their support and talents to make GivingTuesday a reality.
