After the retail madness of Black Friday and the digital mayhem of Cyber Monday, it’s easy to feel like all your shopping is done. However, because the holiday season is supposed to be a time of charitable donations, Giving Tuesday has become a staple of the shopping mad dash that kicks off after Thanksgiving. And fortunately, it’s all about giving back.
By providing lists of charities accepting donations and creating awareness on every social media platform out there, Giving Tuesday makes giving back easier than ever. In that spirit, TechCo has decided to showcase a few charitable startups that will make your holiday season that much brighter. Take a look at them below and make sure to make your Giving Tuesday as charitable as possible!
