Today, December 1st, is "Giving Tuesday." GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good.
Over the past seven years, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Did you know that you can use PTO Exchange to donate unused vacation to over 1.2MM nonprofits in the US? These nonprofits range from national organizations like the NPR and the Gates Foundation all the way through local food banks, PTA, school, and religious organizations. All registered 501(3)c nonprofits in the US are available to receive donations via PTO Exchange.
Further, the Cares Act allows every US taxpayer to take a $300 deduction for nonprofit donations made in 2020, even if they don’t itemize.
"For the second year in a row, I was able to donate a week of PTO to my church.”
