Celebrate Local Giving: Empowering Women Founders on #GivingTuesdaySheLeads

 What is #GivingTuesday All About? Let’s Dive In!

You’ve probably heard the buzz about #GivingTuesday, but what’s it all about? Picture this: a global movement that inspires millions to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Sounds amazing, right? Since it started in 2012 as a simple idea—a day dedicated to doing good—#GivingTuesday has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon. It’s a celebration of kindness, empowering people and organizations to come together and make a real difference in their communities and beyond.

At C2 Your Health Women’s Initiative Inc., we’ve been proud to be part of this incredible movement for the past six years, bringing the spirit of giving alive in the South Bend and Mishawaka areas. This year, we’re taking it up a notch with our 2024 SheLeads Campaign (#GivingTuesdaySheLeads). And here’s the exciting part: we’re putting the spotlight on 10 amazing women-founded nonprofits that are transforming lives and strengthening our community in remarkable ways. 

Wondering who? Follow us on Instagram or Facebook! The campaign runs between November 28th and December 3rd. 

 Why Should You Care About #GivingTuesday?

Because it’s not just about big donations or grand gestures (though those are awesome too!). It’s about every little act of generosity—making someone smile, lending a hand to a neighbor or stranger, supporting a cause you’re passionate about, or sharing what you can with someone in need. Every single action adds up to create a better world.

Now, more than ever, our communities need us to show up for them. By supporting local nonprofits, mutual aid networks, and community organizers, you’re not just giving back—you’re helping build a brighter, stronger future for everyone.

Stay tuned as we celebrate these inspiring women leaders and share how you can be part of this empowering journey. Let’s come together this #GivingTuesday and prove that every act of kindness makes a difference!

Ready to join us? Start here:

1. Fostering a Sense of Community:

Charitable giving helps build stronger, more connected communities. By supporting local nonprofits, you are investing in the well-being and prosperity of your neighbors, friends, and family members. This sense of shared purpose and collective effort can lead to a more supportive and resilient community.

2. Promoting Philanthropic Values:

#GivingTuesday is an excellent opportunity to promote the values of generosity and empathy, especially to younger generations. Engaging children and young adults in charitable activities instills the importance of giving back and helps them develop a lifelong commitment to philanthropy.

3. Tax Benefits:

Donations to qualifying charitable organizations are often tax-deductible. By participating in #GivingTuesday, you can support causes you care about while also potentially reducing your taxable income.

4. Boosting Emotional Well-being:

Numerous studies have shown that giving to others can enhance your overall sense of happiness and well-being. The act of donating time, money, or resources can provide a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, knowing that you are making a positive difference in someone else's life.

 C2 Your Health Women's Initiative's Commitment:
