How to Donate on Giving Tuesday in 2023
As the world’s leading expert on childhood, Save the Children works in the hardest-to-reach places, where it's toughest to be a child. Today, as nearly 468 million children worldwide are living in areas affected by armed conflict, our work to protect a generation of children makes us one of the best organizations to support and donate to charity this Giving Tuesday.
Thanks to our supporters, we have been able to change the lives of over 1 billion children since our founding more than 100 years ago. Our charity work in the United States and around the world helps keep children healthy, educated and safe.
We are proud to be involved with a global day of giving by participating in #GivingTuesday on November 28, 2023. Save the Children is also proud to participate in #CryptoGivingTuesday.
With your help, we can come together to protect a generation of children in need and the future we share.
