今年捐赠星期二定于12月1日:首度延伸为五天「慷慨周」,衔接国际志愿者日

全球慈善运动 GivingTuesday 组织宣布,今年的「捐赠星期二」定于12月1日,并将首次延伸为为期五天的「慷慨周」(Generosity Week):从12月1日一路衔接到12月5日的国际志愿者日,把捐款与志愿服务放在同一周里庆祝。
据该组织介绍,「慷慨周」是 GivingTuesday 与国际志愿工作者协会(IAVE)的合作项目,邀请100多个国家和地区的人们以捐款、出时间、出技能等各种方式参与社区行动。2026年恰逢联合国定为「可持续发展志愿者国际年」,是这次延伸的背景。
「捐赠星期二」创立于2012年,固定在感恩节后的第一个星期二,如今已是全球最大的单一捐赠日。据该组织统计,2025年的捐赠星期二,全美捐赠者在24小时内捐出了约40亿美元。
组织方表示,参与不需要注册或许可:个人可以自行行动,也可以报名获得活动支持与资源。今年的五天安排意在提醒公众,慷慨不止于捐款,做志愿者同样是回馈社区的方式。(来源:GivingTuesday)
Giving Tuesday on December 1 Will Open a Five-Day “Generosity Week” Running to International Volunteer Day
The global generosity movement GivingTuesday has announced that this year’s Giving Tuesday falls on December 1 — and, for the first time, will stretch into a five-day “Generosity Week,” running from Giving Tuesday on December 1 through International Volunteer Day on December 5, celebrating giving and volunteering in a single week.
According to the organization, Generosity Week is a collaboration between GivingTuesday and the International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE), inviting people in more than 100 countries to give their time, skills or resources to their communities. The timing draws on the United Nations’ designation of 2026 as the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development.
Created in 2012 and held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday has grown into the world’s largest single day of giving. The organization estimates that U.S. donors gave about $4 billion in 24 hours on Giving Tuesday 2025.
No registration or permission is needed to take part: people can act on their own or sign up for support and resources. Organizers say the five-day span is meant to underline that generosity is not only about money — volunteering is giving, too. (Source: GivingTuesday)
