#Giving Tuesday 2025

December 2nd, 2025

#GivingTuesday has become a powerful moment in the year-end season of generosity for communities across the globe. What began in 2012, when the 92nd Street YMCA in New York and the United Nations Foundation set aside one day to celebrate giving, has grown into an international movement that raised more than $3 billion in the U.S. alone last year.

Here in St. Louis, CBN is proud to join this global day of generosity. Across our region, our nonprofits are working harder than ever to meet rising needs in disaster recovery, education, food access, healthcare, housing stability, and community well-being.

#GivingTuesday 2025, happening on December 2, is an opportunity for all of us to uplift that work and invest in a stronger, more equitable St. Louis.

• Give time by volunteering with a local nonprofit.
