What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. For Volunteer Lethbridge, it is our final push in the calendar year for funding to be used in the following year!
Our Mission in Lethbridge
Volunteer Lethbridge's aim is to safely provide high-quality,
relevant, accessible, well-managed opportunities for people to
contribute to their community and to offer continued aid and
guidance to the change-makers. Through our growing network of
nonprofits, Volunteer Lethbridge is able to leverage the capacities
and collective voice of the sector. We have come to advocate for
volunteers and volunteerism by using these connections to initiate
action on community and nonprofit issues.
How you can help this Giving Tuesday!
Volunteer Lethbridge is celebrating our 45th anniversary in
2026!
During VL’s 45 year history, the organization has offered
various programs and services to try and meet the needs of the
Lethbridge community. These programs included Project Paintbrush,
where we matched volunteers to disabled or senior community members
and painted their fences in the community, Color Fun Runs, and even
recorded volunteer voices for individuals who cannot talk and who
rely on computerized voice equipment.
For our 45th anniversary, we want to bring back events to
recognize volunteers in our community, such as the Leaders of
Tomorrow. Whether it takes the same shape as we have historically
had it, or a new innovative way to deliver recognition to volunteer
youth, Volunteer Lethbridge is committed to getting being the leader
in volunteer recognition for our community!
How contributions will be used for Giving Tuesday:Giving Tuesday and our year-end fundraiser is focused on the first half of the new year! We run events for Random Acts of Kindness and National Volunteer Week that can cost us up to $10,000. Even with sponsors, we often have to pull from our operating budget to cover the events. Last year, we delivered over 300 gifts to community and volunteers over the course of both Random Acts of Kindness and National Volunteer Week. This year, we are hoping to hit the same number- or more! With success this Giving Tuesday, we will hopefully be planning bigger and better events for our anniversary year!
