What is #NYGivesDay?
#NYGivesDay is a 24-hour online challenge to celebrate nonprofits across the state of New York. Thousands of nonprofits across the Empire State will work together to raise awareness, collect donations, and build a stronger sense of philanthropy throughout their local communities.
Is #NYGivesDay the same as #GivingTuesday?
#NYGivesDay came from the #GivingTuesday concept. #GivingTuesday is celebrated the day after Cyber Monday to encourage Americans to give back to charities and non profits. The New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON) and United Way of New York State (UWNYS) along with their technology partner, GiveGab, formed a partnership to launch #NYGivesDay.
Giving Tuesday is meant to remind us to give back to those in need and we hope you will consider supporting Horizon Health Services.
