Let’s start this blog by sharing about #GivingTuesday. This may seem familiar from when we first shared this campaign with you, a couple of years ago. Thank you for joining us! Your support helped us raise awareness towards our cause and we are very grateful.
GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. After the sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday is a time to celebrate and encourage activities that support charities and nonprofits. Whether it’s making a donation, volunteering time, helping a neighbour or spreading the word, GivingTuesday is a movement for everyone who wants to give something back. #GivingTuesdayCA is the Canadian version of #GivingTuesday.
For 4 weeks before Giving Tuesday, starting on November 1, 2020, we encourage our supporters to help raise funds, but mostly raise awareness about the cause they care about, in this case, hEr VOLUTION. Here is how it works:
Step 1: Download & Print the #Unselfie poster
Step 2: Write down why you support hEr VOLUTION
Step 3: Take a picture holding the poster (hint: get a friend to take a picture of you holding the poster)
Step 4: Post the picture on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc) telling the world why you support hEr VOLUTION using the #Unselfie & #GivingTuesdayCA hashtags and tag us at @her_volution
Step 5: Tell your friends about this campaign and ask them to support your cause with you!
hEr VOLUTION was incorporated in 2013. Based in Toronto, Canada, hEr VOLUTION is the go to place for youth, particularly young women from underserved communities to come to in order to advance in 21st Century Skills. We exist to create opportunities for the next generation of women in STEM connecting them with leaders in the industry for career support. We listen to the needs of the community and that of the STEM industry to better help the next generation of underserved youth, with a focus on young women to enter STEM.
First, for the ones who are new to the concept, let’s start by discussing what Giving Tuesday is:
GivingTuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies, and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday.
GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners – nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals – to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. Across Canada and around the world, GivingTuesday unites communities by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another. More

There are lots of ways that small businesses, corporations, and brands can get involved. GivingTuesday is a great opportunity to do more for the causes you support and engage employees and your community. You can make a donation here and/ or you can volunteer with us anytime. More
Every 3rd Wednesday of each month, hEr VOLUTION is hosting monthly meetings where everyone who is currently involved with us meets with the founder and anyone who is in charge of any activities that we hold within our organization. Space is generously donated for the day by the lovely people at People and Code
