Giving Tuesday is a global movement. It is a time for individuals to come together and be part of the solutions to some of today’s most pressing problems through charitable donations.
This year, Giving Tuesday takes place on Nov. 30. Members of the Carleton University community—from faculty and staff to alumni and community partners—will have the opportunity to make a positive change for future generations through Carleton-led initiatives.
Inspiring projects led by students and researchers will tackle important community and societal concerns, including prosperity; health and wellness; equity, diversity and inclusion; tech for good; and sustainability.
Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership
A community partnership returning to FutureFunder for the second year is the MPNL Award for Black Emerging Fundraising Professionals. The project, led by the Black Canadian Fundraisers’ Collective, was able to provide four awards last year to Black students enrolled in Carleton’s Master of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership program. This year, through the continuing support of the community and the Black Canadian Fundraisers’ Collective, the project aims to build on that success as it works to amplify the voices of emerging Black professionals as they pursue a career in fundraising and increase the financial support available to students.
