Nonprofit organizations across San Antonio and the U.S. came together on Tuesday to encourage charitable giving.

Giving Tuesday is a chance for you to give to a cause that you feel strongly about and a local San Antonio-area doctor says it can also be good for your soul.

For those who plan on donating to a charitable organization for Giving Tuesday, there could be some opportunities to receive money back when filing taxes next year.

On Giving Tuesday, there are an endless number of ideas out there on how to give, but quite possibly one of the simplest and most meaningful ways is by spreading kindness.

With Giving Tuesday now here, people might want to donate money to a good cause, but simply might not have much of it lying around.

Beyond the opportunity to add some money to their accounts, Giving Tuesday has other benefits for nonprofit organizations that last well beyond that particular day.

Giving Tuesday is still somewhat new in the grand scheme of social media things, and even though your first thought might be donating money, there are plenty of other ways to give, so don’t feel like you can’t participate if you don’t happen to have the funds at the moment.
