GCFLearnFree Joins #GivingTuesday Campaign
Annual Day of Giving Impacts Nonprofits Across the Globe
Raleigh, NC, December 04, 2014 --(PR.com)-- GCFLearnFree, an online-based educational organization, has joined #GivingTuesday, a unique effort that harnesses the collective power of a unique blend of partners to transform how people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season.
Coinciding with the kickoff of the 2014 holiday season, #GivingTuesday is designed to inspire people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities, give back in smarter ways to the charities and causes they support, and help create a better world. Taking place December 2, #GivingTuesday primarily uses social media to create a national moment around the holidays that’s dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become synonymous with holiday shopping.
“We are beyond excited to join the #GivingTuesday movement,” says Matt Robinson, director of distance learning for GCFLearnFree. “This movement has helped spread the word about organizations like ours that have never necessarily asked for donations before, or that have not had an opportunity to do so.”
