GivingTuesday is December 1. It’s a global day of generosity that kicks off the giving season, and each year we mark it by publishing our Charity List. This list brings together the organizations supported this year through the Place2Give Foundation and by Karma & Cents clients.

Before you make your year-end gifts, we invite you to explore two new resources:

  • GivingTuesday Newsletter: news and highlights from our giving community this year.
  • 2026 Donor Guide: This year, we focus on empowering your generosity by highlighting current trends shaping philanthropy across North America. Understanding these shifts can help you maximize your impact and align your end-of-year giving with your community’s greatest needs.

If you‘d like to support any of these agencies, please visit the Place2Give Fund on the GIVE page and designate your donation to the charity you’d like to support. Unsure who to support? You can also choose to support one of our customized GIVE funds created by donors just like you. The charities/projects they have selected are highlighted on the fund pages.
