Partnered by the Bucks County Herald, Giving Tuesday Bucks is a charitable effort inspired by last year's success by the 92nd Street Y in New York and other organizations that raised more than $10 million in donations around the country. The coalition of local non-profits reflects a spirit of cooperation from charities that rely heavily on private donations for funding.
Giving Tuesday Bucks begins on Dec. 3. Donations can be made right now by clicking on a participating non-profit and navigating to the organization's website.
