What hashtag refers to the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving in the United States?

The hashtag for the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving is #GivingTuesday.

GivingTuesday is an annual generosity movement that encourages people, charities, businesses, and communities to support charitable causes. It follows the major U.S. shopping days Black Friday and Cyber Monday, giving the Tuesday after Thanksgiving a philanthropic focus rather than a commercial one.

The movement was launched in 2012 by Henry Timms at New York’s 92nd Street Y, with support from the United Nations Foundation and other partners. The name is commonly written as “GivingTuesday,” while “#GivingTuesday” is the hashtag form used on social media and in online campaigns.

Although it began in the United States, GivingTuesday is now observed internationally. It is not a federal holiday and does not have a fixed numerical date because U.S. Thanksgiving changes from year to year. The event always falls five days after Thanksgiving, between November 27 and December 3.
