Giving Tuesday takes place the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving and is a day to give back to the community following the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
If you would like to donate to a local Bay Area nonprofit or initiative this Giving Tuesday, NBC Bay Area has put together a list of local non-profits that are running special campaigns for this year’s Giving Tuesday:
Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area
The Comcast NBCUniversal Bay Area family is partnering with Make-A-Wish to help Bay Area children with critical illnesses. Prior to the pandemic, more than 80% of wishes involved air travel. Now that kids can once again go on travel wishes, Make-A-Wish has a rapidly increasing need for airline miles. You can help wish kids go the extra mile with your donation of frequent flier miles. Once donated, your miles never expire and will send wish children and their families on unforgettable experiences. Your donation of airline miles today ensures that Make-A-Wish will be able to book flights now and in the future. Click here to donate and learn more about Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area.
YR Media
YR Media has a goal of raising $5,000 this Giving Tuesday to continue their mission of providing accessible content creation education and critical employment opportunities to young journalists, producers and developers across the country. Click here to donate.
The Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley
