What Is Giving Tuesday—and Why It Matters for Steelbridge

Every year, on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, millions of people around the world come together for Giving Tuesday—a global movement of generosity, compassion, and community. But Giving Tuesday is more than a date on the calendar. It’s a chance to create real, lasting impact for organizations working on the front lines of change.

For Steelbridge, Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to shine a light on the men, women, and youth in New Mexico who are rebuilding their lives after trauma, hardship, and crisis. It’s a chance for our community to stand alongside them as they take their first steps toward hope, healing, and independence.

A Global Day of Generosity

Giving Tuesday began in 2012 as a simple idea:
A day that encourages people to do good.

Since then, it has grown into a worldwide movement that inspires individuals, families, businesses, and communities to support the causes they believe in. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, acts of kindness, or raising awareness—Giving Tuesday empowers all of us to give back in meaningful ways.
