Giving Tuesday, scheduled for December 2, 2023, is an international initiative that promotes generosity and encourages individuals and organizations to make a positive impact on their communities. This year, the IEEE and the IEEE Foundation are calling on members to contribute to their charitable programs, which focus on empowering future engineers and providing essential services worldwide.
The IEEE Foundation is offering a significant incentive for donations this Giving Tuesday. An initial amount of $85,000 donated to the campaign will be matched dollar for dollar, effectively doubling the total contribution up to $170,000. This matching effort amplifies the potential impact of each donation, allowing supporters to significantly enhance technological advancements and innovative programs that change lives.
Members can choose to direct their contributions to specific IEEE programs that resonate with them or opt to support the IEEE Foundation directly. The Foundation’s efforts aim to highlight projects that inspire the next generation, deliver sustainable energy to underserved communities, assist in emergency response initiatives, and more.
Other Ways to Contribute
While financial donations are crucial, there are additional avenues for supporters to make a difference during this impactful day. Engaging with the community by volunteering, spreading awareness, or participating in events can also contribute to the overall mission of enhancing lives through technology.

This Giving Tuesday presents a unique opportunity for IEEE members and supporters to be a force for good, helping to create lasting change in communities around the world.
