The Somerville nonprofit community has embarked upon a new journey of collaborative fundraising: Giving Tuesday Somerville. This holiday season, 15 nonprofit organizations are joining forces to collaborate on a first-annual joint fundraising effort as part of the international Giving Tuesday program. Giving Tuesday is an annual global day of giving that helps to raise funds and awareness for important causes everywhere.

In our community, Giving Tuesday Somerville will be the 21st Century version of a telethon. Hosted on SCATV, this telethon delivers an exciting program of live entertainment, panel discussions, public service announcements, and local celebrities, helping us to raise $50,000 for the nonprofit community in Somerville.

Giving Tuesday Somerville takes place on December 2nd, 2014. Giving takes place from 12:01am-11:59 p.m. online, while the telethon is hosted from 6-9 p.m. on SCATV.

All donations will be divided evenly among the fifteen organizations. Donate safely and securely to Giving Tuesday Somerville here: Giving Tuesday Somerville
