10 Impactful Ways to Give Back This Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is one of my favorite days of the year as we continue to practice gratitude. This is the global day dedicated to generosity, and this year, we celebrate it on December 2nd. 

Earlier this year, I launched our social impact arm called COVEDOZA CARES. This day holds a special meaning. It’s a reminder that when we give together, we grow together. Whether you donate, volunteer, or share your skills, your contribution can create lasting change for the communities we love.

This year, we’re highlighting the powerful idea of giving through Time, Talent, and Treasure that I learned at Junior Achievement of Georgia - another great nonprofit you can also support today.  Here are three accessible ways anyone can participate in Giving Tuesday.

1. Give TIME

Volunteering is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. From organizing events to helping families access essential resources, donating your time fuels the mission of many community-driven organizations.

2. Give TALENT

Your skills matter. Whether you’re a coach, designer, accountant, strategist, or storyteller, many nonprofits rely on volunteers who can offer professional knowledge at no cost. Sharing your expertise can help organizations serve more people and strengthen their impact.

3. Give TREASURE

If you’re able, financial contributions are always appreciated — whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring monthly donation. Your generosity helps fund programs, training, education, and life-changing resources.

Why Giving Tuesday Matters

Giving Tuesday is more than a date to me. It’s a global movement rooted in unity, compassion, and collective action. When we give, we strengthen the foundations of our communities and ensure nonprofits have the tools they need to continue their mission.

Whether you offer your time, your knowledge, or your resources, you are contributing to a more equitable and empowered future.

Final Thoughts from me as a Founder

At COVEDOZA CARES, giving is a form of leadership. It is how we uplift our communities, honor our heritage, and build the future we want to see.

This Giving Tuesday, choose one way to show up.

Just one.

Because when one person gives, another person rises.

Con amor,

Elisa.
