Are you ready for #GivingTuesday 2026?!
With year-end giving around the corner, COTA community campaign teams should already be thinking about holiday fundraising.
As part of your planning, you will want to consider GivingTuesday, which is a global celebration of generosity following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. No matter how big or small, any fundraising effort can benefit from participating in GivingTuesday (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving). COTA is encouraging volunteers to join this effort to promote your COTA community campaign.
COTA has created resources that will help volunteers use social media and organize fundraising events in celebration of GivingTuesday. Social media is the main outlet utilized to encourage others to make GivingTuesday monetary contributions or contributions of time to a cause; therefore, you will find templates specifically for Facebook and Instagram, as well as virtual fundraising ideas.
You will receive more information over the next several weeks about ways your community campaign team can use GivingTuesday to share your COTA campaign story and raise funds for transplant-related expenses. If you have questions, please contact CampaignInfo@cota.org. Also remember to send all materials to CampaignInfo@cota.org before posting to ensure IRS compliance.
Join us December 1st as we give hope on GivingTuesday!
