  The impactful movement has generated endless ripples throughout the world. Since the campaign launched, there have been over 40,000 organizations in 71 countries that have joined the #GivingTuesday movement.   To show RIZZARR's support for this inspiring day, we are highlighting a number of different organizations that are not necessarily on the list of #GivingTuesday organizations, but we love and admire them just the same. We hope that you will join us in supporting them by making a donation to them, telling others about them, or by getting involved in volunteering for them. Let's work together with these meaningful organizations and many others to make the world a better place!

 

5 Organizations We're Supporting:

 

1. #YESWECODE

  The #YesWeCode initiative targets low-opportunity youth and provides them with the necessary resources and tools to become world-class computer programmers. By learning this highly valuable and relevant 21st century skill, these young people are shifting the trajectory of their futures and transforming their relationships with their communities and their country.

 

 

2. GIRLS WHO CODE

  Girls Who Code programs work to inspire, educate, and equip girls with the computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities. Girls Who Code’s vision is to reach gender parity in computing fields. We believe this is paramount to ensure the economic prosperity of women, families, and communities across the globe, and to equip citizens with the 21st century tools for innovation and social change. The more girls are exposed to computer science at a young age, the more women will be working in the technology and engineering fields in the near future.

 

 

3. THE NATIONAL EATING DISORDERS ASSOCIATION

The National Eating Disorders Association supports individuals and families affected by eating disorders, and serves as a catalyst for prevention, cures and access to quality care. They can confront these serious illnesses with increased awareness, early intervention and improved access to treatment. NEDA provides programs and services to give families the support they need to find answers for these life-threatening illnesses.

 

 

4. TOMS

In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One.™

 

 

5. DO SOMETHING

DoSomething.org makes the world suck less. One of the largest orgs for young people and social change, our 3.1 million members tackle campaigns that impact every cause, from poverty to violence to the environment to literally everything else. Any cause, anytime, anywhere.
