Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. Last week, we celebrated Thanksgiving, and families across the country gathered to celebrate and give thanks for all their blessings. Today, on the National Day of Giving, many come together for a common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give. Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving to worthy causes. Charitable giving is a force for good, which is why the tax reform package, approved by the House, maintains this important deduction. Charities, families, businesses, community centers, and people around the world will lend their time or their personal resources to philanthropic efforts across the Nation. Giving Tuesday also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners--nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals--to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. As a global movement, Giving Tuesday unites countries around the world by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another. That is something we can all celebrate. ____________________
