What if you could find great holiday gifts that give back to charity? Well, you can. I've compiled 20 different companies that also give back to charities because today is Giving Tuesday. Have you heard of #GivingTuesday? It is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. The Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the U.S., Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, which is when many people focus on their end of the year giving. It is also a great day to get involved in your community. You can search this site for more information on ways you can get involved. If you want to use your dollars to make a difference this year, check out these 20 ideas and companies where you can find gifts that give back to charity. 20 Websites with Gifts that Give Back to Charity 1.
