Giving Tuesday: Give the Gift of Education


With Black Friday and Cyber Monday officially behind us, it's time to come together and collectively give back by celebrating Giving Tuesday. Booker T. Washington once said, "Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others."

One of the most significant ways to give back is within your community.

Consider donating to a Georgia college or university, where you can contribute towards a campus program, student scholarship, and a local community.
