 About  Giving  Tuesday:  GivingTuesday  is  the  brainchild  of  the  92nd  Street  Y,  a  nonprofit  cultural  and  community  center  in  New  York.  The  idea  is  to  inspire  giving  and  help  charities  nationwide  by  creating  a  daylong  effort  to  help  charities  online  -­‐-­‐  aptly  timed  right  after  Cyber  Monday  and  Black  Friday.    The  movement  begins  December  3,  2013  this  year.    Last  year,  #GivingTuesday  drew  donations  to  about  2,600  nonprofits.  Let’s  help  grow  this  this  statistic.    What  is  GreatNonprofits.org  doing  to  help?  Because  GreatNonprofits.org’s  mission  is  to  enable  great  nonprofits  to  share  their  stories  of  impact,  regardless  of  their  size  or  budget,  what  better  way  to  accomplish  this  than  to  publish  our  definitive  list  of  Top  Rated  Nonprofits  throughout  the  years.  That’s  why  we  are  launching  our  #GivingTuesday  Guide  listing  all  of  the  Top-­‐Rated  Nonprofits  by  year  and  issue;  going  back  to  when  the  program  originated.      How  can  you  get  involved?   If  you’re  already  Top  Rated,  spread  the  word  with  our  Social  Media  

Toolkit   If  you’re  new  to  GreatNonprofits.org,  claim  your  profile  and  get  

started   If  you’d  like  to  be  Top-­‐Rated,  use  our  kit  to  start  collecting  reviews
