If you are looking for other ways to give this holiday season, we’ve curated a list of some of the best charities for travel lovers. The holidays are always a time for giving. Many people often search for a charity to donate money to as the end of the year approaches, so it is fitting that a global movement has emerged for charity. Giving Tuesday started as a hashtag on social media in 2012 and has since grown to encourage people annually to spread generosity through volunteering, giving to charity, and reminding people to give back.
Giving Tuesday – Travel Charities
Giving Tuesday has become a nice balance to counter the excesses of Black Friday, American Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday.
