Before you post: swap every [bracket] for your organization's real details, like your goal, what a gift does, and your link. Never post a number you can't back up. A match only counts if a real donor has committed to it. Pair each post with a real photo from your programs, and get consent from anyone shown.

Quick answers
When is Giving Tuesday 2026?
Tuesday, December 1, 2026, the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving.
How many times should we post on the day?
Many small nonprofits plan 3โ4 posts on the day itself (launch, midday update, final hours, and an evening thank-you), plus a save-the-date and a reminder the week before. That's what this pack covers.
Do we need fancy graphics?
No. A real photo from your programs usually beats a stock image. Add your logo and keep any text short.
