Created by the 92nd Street Y in 2012, #GivingTuesday is an annual day of giving following Black Friday and Cyber Monday that has created a new conversation about philanthropy across the digital landscape as well as among non-profits, the private sector, and local communities.

Melissa shares the inspiration for this innovative concept, the multi-sector collaboration that has made it an evolving success, the data behind the buzz, the crucial role played by social media, and how to create and maximize a #GivingTuesday campaign for your organization.
