November is here! There is so much going on in this month and the next. Not only is this a time for people to reflect on the past year and count their blessings, but it’s also a time of generosity and helping others.
You’ve probably noticed that there are a lot of fundraisers going on right now. At the center of them all is Giving Tuesday.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a worldwide phenomenon that encourages individuals to donate to their favorite causes. It started in 2012 in response to the commercialism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and encourages people to do something good. In the past decade, Giving Tuesday has developed into a global movement that has inspired and encouraged hundreds of millions of people to donate and celebrate generosity.
When is Giving Tuesday?
December 3, 2024.
It’s a bit later this year because Thanksgiving fell later in the month.

Why Should You Donate to Platte Valley Literacy?
The PVLA has been a part of the Columbus community since the 1980s, and it makes us so proud to know that we have helped—and will continue to help—individuals fulfill their dreams of a better life.
Whether a person is looking to improve their English-speaking skills, earn their citizenship, or increase their employability skills, we are here to help.
But we can’t do it alone.
By working together, we can make Columbus a welcoming place for all and ensure that everyone feels like a valued member of the community.
The vast majority of our classes are offered at no charge to students, but we still have to pay instructors and ensure they have classrooms to teach in. Technology also assists in student instruction, and we need to be able to keep equipment and other educational materials up to date.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of others to provide the invaluable services that people need.
We empower individuals to reach their educational goals, and your donation on Giving Tuesday ensures that we have what we need to provide students with high-quality instructors and up-to-date materials and technology.
