GivingTuesday 2022 Results on GiveGab
Nov. 29, 2022, marked the 10th anniversary of the GivingTuesday movement and the GivingTuesday Data Commons estimates that over $3.1 billion was raised during this year’s internationally recognized day of generosity. Since its inception in 2012, GivingTuesday has continued to “inspire people around the world to give gifts of time, skills, goods, advocacy, and more, showing that everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts.”
GiveGab has been a proud participant of the GivingTuesday movement since our platform first supported fundraising back in 2015. In the eight years following, our customers and partners grew their impact from $176,555 raised on our platform in 2015 to over $9.9 million raised online in 2022! We are humbled to be part of this growth as more organizations experience the joy of online fundraising with GiveGab.
Over the years, GivingTuesday has quickly become GiveGab’s busiest (and most favorite) day of the year as we proudly support thousands of incredible fundraisers and Giving Day partners in furthering their organization’s missions and telling their unique stories!

The GiveGab team supported over 30 Giving Days and 3,623 organizations on GivingTuesday. We’re proud to provide the tools and resources that support our incredible customers working hard to do more good in their communities.” – Casey Keller, SVP of customers success, GiveGab
While GivingTuesday is regarded as the national day of philanthropy, we work with hundreds of Giving Day partners that have found great success in hosting their digital event on a date that aligns with their unique mission and goals. And many of our partners utilize both GivingTuesday and their individual giving event as part of their year-round approach to fundraising. Our Directors of Engagement are eager to work with your organization to determine the timeline for your ideal Giving Day.
