Midwood Development Corp. (MDC) is proud to once again be participating in #GivingTuesday in 2016. Now entering its fifth year, #GivingTuesday is an international day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (Nov. 29th this year) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many individuals focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy.

What Is #GivingTuesday?
Created by the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at the 92nd Street Y, #GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of individuals, communities, and organizations for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. A team of influencers and founding partners joined forces, collaborating across sectors, offering expertise and working tirelessly, to launch #GivingTuesday and have continued to shape, grow and strengthen the movement.

As a global movement, #GivingTuesday unites countries around the world by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another.

MDC relies on the generosity of our friends and neighbors to help us to continue to bring much-needed programs and services to our community. We hope you’ll support us this #GivingTuesday. To donate, please click here. Thank you!
