What is a good Giving Tuesday quote?
There are many good quotes to reference in celebration of Giving Tuesday. We have a favorite one by our founder that you can share on social media to encourage others to donate:
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.
