Happy Giving Tuesday!

Giving Tuesday is Finally Here

We’ve made it through Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday is the time to do your holiday shopping in a way that really gives back.

A gift from Heifer International is meaningful for everyone involved. Your friends, family and colleagues alike will be honored to receive gifts from Heifer, whether they’re goat lovers or tree huggers. You’ll know that you’ve not only done something special for your recipient, but also for our global community. And the ultimate recipient – the Heifer project participant family – will reap the benefits of your gift for years to come. Best yet, that gift will keep on giving as our participants Pass on the Gift to another family in the community.

Give to Heifer today to support the real giving season’s opening day.

Giving Tuesday is Coming Soon

Are you all geared up for Black Friday? Cyber Monday? How about Giving Tuesday?

It’s just two weeks from today, so it’s time to plan your holiday spending to include charitable holiday giving. I may be biased, but I’d certainly recommend checking out the Heifer International online Gift Catalog. Many people already give nonprofit gifts at the holiday, but this year we’re taking it to a new level.
