values of community service and giving back − conceptualized #GivingTuesday as a new way of linking
individuals and causes to strengthen communities and encourage giving. Connecting Up, the premier
technology and resource provider to not-for-profit organisation, has been driving the movement in Australia
and New Zealand since 2013. In 2014, the third year ofthe movement, #GivingTuesday brought together
30,000 partners in 68 countries and registered 32.7million impressions on Twitter, with its eponymous
hashtag mentioned 698,600 times. Since 2012, online giving on the Tuesday has increased more than four-
fold, based on findings by Blackbaud and the Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy,
produced in partnership with the Case Foundation.
