Giving Tuesday 2021

Welcome back, Baltimore. The days after Thanksgiving bring plenty of shopping, but it's also a time to prioritize spending that can help those orgs which help the community. 

 

Tuesday, Nov. 30, is Giving Tuesday, the annual global coordinated day of online donation campaigns for nonprofits. Baltimore has plenty of orgs working to expand access to opportunity through tech and entrepreneurship, so it's a day where we at Technical.ly see plenty of chances to give back in our inboxes and on social media feeds.

 

Do you know of a Baltimore nonprofit that has an onoging campaign? Email us at baltimore@technical.ly to let us know. We may include it in a roundup on Tuesday.
