Our Impact

Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to give.

At Boundless, we love using Giving Tuesday as an opportunity to go above and beyond for our clients and causes that matter to us. However, Giving Tuesday is also an opportunity to give in non-monetary ways! That’s the best part: anyone can participate in the global movement of #GivingTuesday.

Here are some more ideas you might consider to participate in the :

• Share kindness with your neighbors.
• Volunteer virtually or share your talents.
• Give your voice to a cause that matters to you.
• Discover a local fundraiser, community drive, or coordinated event to join others in your area or with your same interests in giving back — they need your help.
• Give to your favorite cause or a fundraiser to help those in need.

Participating in GivingTuesday means that you’re joining a global movement for generosity and there are so many ways to do that. Whether you give your voice, goods, your time, or your money, being generous is a way to fight for the causes you care about and help people in need.

So, how many people are giving? Here are some of the data points from Giving Tuesday’s website. 2020 saw a record number of donations and participation.

• While giving in 2021 has not seen the explosive growth of 2020, the pace of giving and the number of donors has remained roughly the same or even a little higher. The estimated number of donors increased by 0.7% in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, while the total amount of money given has risen by a projected 1.7%.
• Fundraising has remained strong in the first half of the year due to the number of newly retained donors—that is, the number of new donors in 2020 who have continued to give in 2021. The number of newly retained donors increased 22.4% over the first half of 2021.
• Total giving and the number of donors grew by record rates in the first quarter of 2021 (10% and 6%, respectively), but the growth was much more nominal in the second quarter. The drop in growth in the second quarter might be a developing trend that leads to flat or decreasing totals in the third quarter or maybe the result of abnormally strong first-quarter growth.

The numbers indicate that more and more people are participating in #GivingTuesday campaigns each year, and 2021 just might break even more records.

One of the Boundless Team’s favorite ways to give back is volunteering. After all, time is one of the most precious resources, and donating our skills to a cause can make a HUGE difference.
