What is a good GivingTuesday quote?
Our founder, Danny Thomas, once spoke about the power of collective effort in the giving process. You can share his quote on social media to encourage people to join your GivingTuesday campaign.
I'd rather have a million people give me a dollar than one give me a million. That way you've got a million people involved.
