Through the power of social media #GivingTuesday has become a global movement that encourages people to give back.
The movement, in its fifth year, is a good kick off to the holiday giving season and takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
That means it's tomorrow. Don't worry, though. You don't have to give on Tuesday. You can give to these organizations any day of the week.
If money is tight, you can also donate your time by volunteering.
