Giving Tuesday 2025
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
This Giving Tuesday, consider some of these local spots:
Chris’s Pick: Greenways for Nashville - https://greenwaysfornashville.org/donate/
Greenways for Nashville focuses on ways to create, preserve, and promote a system of greenways in Nashville and Davidson County.
Greenways are critical to Nashville’s environmental vitality and quality of life. By leveraging private support to enhance public funds, your donation contributes to equitable outdoor recreational access, promotes health and well-being, and connects our communities.
This Giving Tuesday, everyday donation is matched by Eberling Charitable Foundation!
Lila’s Pick: Daybreak Arts - https://daybreakarts.org/donate
Daybreak Arts is a nonprofit social enterprise that creates artistic and economic opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity by providing them access to the creative resources needed to achieve personal fulfillment and success.
Your support doesn't just buy supplies or cover program costs. It gives artists forward momentum that helps them rise, rebuild, and begin imagining a future shaped not by their circumstances, but by their potential.
Jennifer’s Pick: East Nashville Hope Exchange - https://www.enhopeexchange.org/donate.html
East Nashville Hope Exchange ensures that their students do not fall victim to the summer slide: a time when many undeserved children fall behind their peers over the summer months due to lack of learning. ENHE is able to provide programming to dozens of families each year because of the support of generous donors.
$25 = Provide books and learning materials for one student during their Reading Buddies summer instruction.
$15 = Supply learning materials and lunch for one student at a school-year workshop.
$10 = Ensure one student can receive at least one book to take home and keep.
Emily’s Pick: Room In The Inn - https://donorbox.org/giving-tuesday-2025-861455
Room In The Inn began 40 years ago, with the focus to provide programs that emphasize human development and recovery through education, self-help and work, centered in community and long term support for those who call the streets of Nashville home.
This Giving Tuesday, help Room In The Inn raise $76,000 for new washer & dryer systems that restore dignity and hope for our guests with up to $10,000 matched!
Team Pick: Second Harvest Food Bank: https://secure3.convio.net/shfbmt/site/TR?px=1761296&fr_id=1393&pg=personal&s_src=lb&s_subsrc=rkd-gt-1128
Second Harvest takes in donated surplus food from grocery stores, farmers, and others, diverting the supply from landfills to instead empower our neighbors. Supporting individuals and families across Middle and West Tennessee, 1 in 7 people experience food insecurity – including 1 in 6 children.
Every $1 = 8 meals!
