Giving Tuesday is a global movement for generosity. It is celebrated on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This year Giving Tuesday is Nov. 28.

Share Omaha and Share Iowa lead the local efforts for Giving Tuesday. Many local and national nonprofits heavily promote Giving Tuesday.

Participate

The Omaha Community Foundation invites you to participate in Giving Tuesday, powered by our partner, SHARE Omaha. Join the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro in giving – and doing – what we can for local nonprofits.

Giving Tuesday is set for November 28, 2023, and there are all kinds of ways to participate through SHARE Omaha this year.

  • GIVE from your fund at OCF to causes that mean the most to you
  • If you are a financial advisor or estate lawyer, encourage your clients through email be a part of this international day of giving, reminding them how easy it is to give through an OCF fund
  • Find opportunities to donate items or time at Share Omaha and Share Iowa
  • Share about Giving Tuesday on Facebook to encourage your friends and family to give, amplifying your impact!

Give early!

We encourage you to recommend your Giving Tuesday grant early.

To make a grant from your OCF fund, use your DonorCentral page. Remember, you cannot use your fund to give through the SHARE Omaha or Share Iowa websites, and must do it through your OCF fund. You can also recommend a grant by contacting us at 402-342-3458.

Because of the number of grant recommendations made on Giving Tuesday, some may not be processed until Thursday (Nov. 30). Any grant recommendations made after regular business hours on Nov. 28 will not be processed until Thursday.
