GivingTuesday began in 2012 with a simple idea: create a day that encourages people everywhere to do good. Since then, it has grown into a global movement that inspires millions to give, volunteer, collaborate, and celebrate the power of generosity.
But GivingTuesday isn’t only about making a financial donation. It’s about recognizing that everyone has something to give.
Generosity can mean helping a neighbor, volunteering a few hours, supporting a local organization, sharing your talents, speaking up for something you care about, or simply doing something that makes another person’s day a little brighter. Big or small, every act of generosity matters.
Here in Chiloquin, we see that spirit every day. It happens when neighbors help neighbors, volunteers step forward, local organizations work together, and people give their time and resources to make our community better.
At Chiloquin Visions in Progress, that community spirit is at the heart of everything we do. Through programs supporting the arts, youth, seniors, natural resources, and community improvement, we work to bring people together and create opportunities for people of all ages.
“When millions unite with a shared purpose, we don’t just give what we can—we create real, tangible change. Each donation, each act of generosity, is a building block for community solutions that actually make a difference.”
— Asha Curran, CEO of GivingTuesday
