Why Give?

Because GivingTuesday is a chance to participate in something greater than ourselves. GivingTuesday is a day to give back and support the resources that enable Jefferson to improve lives. GivingTuesday is a chance to support the community that needs you most. Every gift makes a difference.

Why Tuesday?

After the year’s biggest shopping days with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, people from around the world unite—to stand together⁠⁠—and use their individual generosity to connect to a cause bigger than themselves for GivingTuesday. With gifts of all sizes, community members have collectively raised more than $60,000 for Jefferson on GivingTuesday in previous years.

Why Jefferson?

Because you can help save a life, launch a health career, make a discovery and ease the burden of pain. Philanthropy makes it all possible, and giving makes you a part of everything we do here at Jefferson.
