Support CFCS on #GivingTuesday this year! Your donation will have twice the impact!
Giving Tuesday, taking place this year on December 3rd, is a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage giving and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday brings together millions of people across the globe to change their communities by giving back. The goal is to create a massive wave of generosity that touches every person on the planet!
You can participate in Giving Tuesday this year by donating to CFCS! Your contribution will support our vision to achieve permanency for every child, adult and family in Massachusetts. All donations we receive on December 3rd will be matched by a generous anonymous donor, up to $2,500. When you donate to CFCS on Giving Tuesday, your donation will go twice as far!
For over 145 years, generous donors like you have helped CFCS provide the finest care to the people we serve. We don’t just connect our clients to resources that will meet their basic needs. We work hard to help them find strength within themselves and their communities, so they can achieve permanency for themselves and their families. When you donate to CFCS, you’re directly supporting the well-being of families across Massachusetts. And when you donate on Giving Tuesday this year, your gift will provide twice the support!
So please don’t forget to donate to CFCS on Giving Tuesday, December 3!
