Since 2012, GivingTuesday has been designated around the world as "a day that encourages people to do good." While the focus tends to be on making a holiday season financial donation to a community nonprofit, that's not the only way to get involved; many organizations also are in need of volunteers. (Find the United Way volunteer page here and the Isthmus Volunteer Guide here.)

Here's a roundup of the Madison-area GivingTuesday participants in 2025 we've heard about so far. If your organization is participating in GivingTuesday, email calendar@isthmus.com to be added to this list.
