Support the Tabernacle on Giving Tuesday!

Mark Your Calendars: “Giving Tuesday” is December 1, 2026  

Did you know that Giving Tuesday started in 2012 as a way to shift people’s focus from shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday to giving back? It happens every year on the Tuesday right after Thanksgiving. 

Since it began, Giving Tuesday has spread to over 105 countries! Millions of people give to charitable causes, raising billions of dollars in a single day. This year, The Church of God is joining in! 

Because the Church is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, donations from individuals or businesses are tax-deductible. This is a great motivation for people to give before the tax year ends! 

How You Can Participate 

Giving Tuesday is all about bringing people together to give whatever they can—even a single dollar! Here are seven simple ways you can help make this campaign a success: 

1. Spread the word on social media. Our main push will be online. Help us reach as many people as possible by liking, commenting on, and sharing posts from General Headquarters. Every share helps direct people to our official giving page! 

2. Engage all November long. In the weeks leading up to Giving Tuesday, keep an eye out for posts from Headquarters. Like and share every post to build momentum for the big day! 

3. Focus on small donations. Unlike campaigns that focus on larger gifts, Giving Tuesday is about finding as many small gifts as possible. Whether it is $1, $5, $10, or $20, or spare change—every bit adds up! 

4. Ask your employer about donation matching. Talk to your employer about Giving Tuesday and ask if they would match donations up to a certain limit. Let them choose the amount—many businesses are happy to match $500, $1,000, or even more.  

5. Reach out to local businesses. If you feel inspired, talk to local shop owners about Giving Tuesday, our Assembly Tabernacle project, and how they can give or match funds. 

6. Keep great records. Make sure to keep track of everyone who donates and the amount they give. 

7. Follow up and say, “Thank you.” Always thank your donors. Reaching out helps build lasting relationships and grows our community network. 

A Day to Make a Difference  

Giving Tuesday is a wonderful opportunity for us to tap into the spirit of generosity right after the holiday shopping weekend. With your help, we can reach more people than ever before, raise funds for our Assembly Tabernacle project, and gain interest in The Church of God! 

Get Ready. Visit the Tabernacle page on the official Church website for downloadable flyers, social media graphics, and extra information to help you share the mission.
