GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement created in 2012 to unleash the power of radical generosity. Starting as a simple idea – a day that encourages people to do good – Giving Tuesday has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Although the official day of giving is December 2, 2025, HealthWell’s GivingTuesday campaign started on November 17, 2025, and runs until December 5, 2025.
The goal for this year’s GivingTuesday initiative is to increase awareness about the Foundation’s life-changing work. Through the campaign, HealthWell hopes to raise $100,000 which will help it to continue to be a financial lifeline to the next million patients who reach out for assistance.
