Giving Tuesday was initiated in 2012 by Henry Timms to counteract the spending of Black Friday and Cyber Monday with philanthropic giving to charities in need of support.
According to Wikipedia, It is touted as a “global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world”.
In this season of giving, consider donating to a non-profit like RCOZ.us and take advantage of your company matching. So many donations go unmatched and non-profits like ours that partly rely on donations benefit tremendously.
Nearly one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness. Studies have shown that talking about mental struggles and challenges helps remove stigma and helps normalize conversations. This also helps them feel that they are not alone in their struggles
Rcoz is an organization that helps remove stigma about mental health through storytelling in an open and accessible online platform. Genuine conversations around mental health can be difficult as a lot of shame and stigma exists around mental health issues that aren’t deemed socially acceptable. Mental illness is a lonely experience, our open platform provides an accessible resource for people to be empowered by sharing their stories or listening to the stories of others.
In our short non-profit history, we have received matched donations from companies such as Google , Salesforce, Servicenow, Microsoft etc, to name a few. This year we hope to reach out to others.
Will you consider donating to RCOZ to support “our cause”?
