]]> Now that you enjoyed your leftovers and scored a few deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s time to settle down and focus on giving back. What better time to help out a great cause than on Giving Tuesday, right?

Giving Tuesday, aka #GivingTuesday, started in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation as a way for people to take a break from the post-Thanksgiving shopping extravaganza and give back to charities and causes that are close to their heart.

It’s also a great way to kick off the holiday season by paying it forward and even finding a new cause to focus on for the upcoming new year.

There are many good celebrities and organizations that are getting involved this year. Whether it’s matching donations or sharing support for an underserved initiative, the celebrity news headlines, and our Twitter feeds, are bursting with #GivingTuesday notifications!

Good Organizations Increase Donations on #GivingTuesday

Many companies and causes are doubling donations, which helps to increase the impact of contributions on this important day.

Radisson

The Radisson hotel brand announced its #ShareYourPlate initiative, which invites social media users to share photos of their plates of food today to raise awareness for the hunger problem worldwide. For every photo shared on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #ShareYourPlate, Radisson will donate $1, up to $500, to benefit Feeding America and The Global FoodBanking Network.

“This campaign supports the brand’s commitment to help source one Million meals through strategic efforts in our communities,” said Rich Flores, vice president, branding, Radisson. “We have declared through Radisson’s responsible business program, there is No Room For Hunger and are committed to driving awareness on the ground at our hotels and even on social media through initiatives like #ShareYourPlate”.
