year, Giving Tuesday has 
become an international 
event that harnesses 
the collective power of 
individuals, communities 
and organizations to 
encourage philanthropy and 
celebrate generosity. 
In 2018, people from more 
than 150 countries globally 
donated on Giving Tuesday, 
with an estimated $400 
million given online alone.
“Giving Tuesday has 
proven to be an incredibly 
successful day for our 
fundraising efforts,” said 
Lisa Cutler, Federation’
s 
senior director, philanthropic 
operations. “Many 
community members know 
about Super Sunday, Giving 
Tuesday has really taken on a 
similar role.”
Federation volunteers 

will be calling community 
members on Giving 
Tuesday to collect pledges. 
Community members can 
also take advantage of the 
match and donate online 
at jewishdetroit.org/donate 
beginning Friday, Nov. 29, 
through Giving Tuesday, 
Dec. 3. 
“After all the shopping 
and sales of Black Friday 
and Cyber Monday, it’
s nice 
to have a day dedicated to 
giving back,” said Marianne 
Bloomberg, Federation’
s 
associate director of 
philanthropic engagement. 
“Our community is 
extremely generous on 
Giving Tuesday, and we’
re 
excited we can make their 
generosity go even further 
by matching gifts once again 
this year.”
