Giving Tuesday, scheduled for December 2, 2023, is a global initiative dedicated to fostering generosity and empowering individuals and organizations to make a positive impact in their communities. This year, the IEEE and the IEEE Foundation are calling on members to contribute to charitable programs designed to inspire future engineers, provide sustainable energy solutions, and support emergency response efforts.
Support Charitable Programs
The IEEE Foundation encourages its members to amplify the effects of technological advancements through donations. Contributions will support various initiatives that have the potential to change lives on a global scale. By participating in this year’s Giving Tuesday, donors can help enhance programs that focus on education, sustainability, and humanitarian aid.
For this campaign, the IEEE Foundation has pledged to match the first $85,000 donated, effectively doubling the impact of contributions up to a total of $170,000. This matching scheme provides an opportunity for donors to maximize their gifts, ensuring that every dollar has a greater reach.
Ways to Contribute
Donors can choose to direct their contributions to specific programs within IEEE that resonate with them or opt to support the IEEE Foundation’s broader initiatives. This flexibility allows individuals to align their donations with their values and interests.
Beyond monetary contributions, there are additional ways to make a difference on Giving Tuesday. Individuals can volunteer their time, share information about the campaign on social media, or simply spread the word within their communities. Engaging in these activities can help raise awareness and encourage more people to participate in this global movement.
For ongoing updates and information about Giving Tuesday, interested individuals can visit the IEEE Foundation’s dedicated web page or follow them on social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Together, through generosity and innovation, the IEEE community can continue to drive positive change worldwide.
