Indiegogo #Giving Tuesday
Today is #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving at the beginning of the holiday season. In its first year (2012), it activated over 2,500 partners and increased online giving by 50%.

Indiegogo is excited to be a part of this movement, and we will be contributing $1 for every $20 raised on December 3rd on every valid #GivingTuesday campaign.

Please help us make a big impact this year by reviewing our #GivingTuesday campaigns and contributing on December 3rd, 12am PST to 11:59pm PST.
