GivingTuesday: Give Back with Greater Good Charities

Turn Compassion into Action this GivingTuesday

In a world marked by uncertainty, every meaningful act of good is an antidote to hardship and heartache.    

Your choice to help people, animals, and the environment drives positive impact across our country and communities around the world.  

GivingTuesday is on December 2nd  a time when you can help restore hope and humanity when it’s needed most. 

Emergency Support Needed for Unhoused Families & Veterans

Many Americans are struggling more than ever before.

This GivingTuesday, you can help keep people with their pets by providing Emergency Packs filled with a blanket, toiletries, a water bottle, and pet food and toys. Just $25 can provide a pack—keeping families together when they need it most. 

Support Ukrainian Families & their Pets

Almost four years have passed since the war in Ukraine broke out. Each time a ceasefire is promised, missiles strike again. But Ukrainians have never lost hope, and neither have we.

Now, they face another threat – winter. As temperatures drop, we plan to provide critical insulation for windows and Winter Relief Kits filled with food and a blanket to care for the people and pets facing unimaginable conditions. This GivingTuesday, you can help families stay safe, warm, and fed this winter. Just $130 can provide a Winter Relief Kit and insulated windows for a household. 

Feed Pets in Need

No pet should go hungry.

In honor of GivingTuesday, we’re hosting a Pet Food Drive to send meals to shelters that need it most. These nutritious meals can be a lifeline for stray and abandoned pets in need. Just $50 can provide 5,000 meals, so donate now. 

Fly Pets to Safety

Shelters are overwhelmed and over capacity.

Many shelters have more pets than they can hold, leaving little hope for homeless pets. On December 2nd, we're flying pets from under-resourced shelters to less-crowded shelters, where they’re more likely to get adopted. $100 can fly the plane 5 miles


Fly Sea Turtles to Safety

6 out of 7 sea turtle species are threatened or endangered. They need our help to survive.

This GivingTuesday, we’re flying cold-stunned sea turtles to warmer waters, where they’ll be treated, rehabilitated, and released. These flights are crucial to ensure we save as many sea turtles as possible – but we need your help to achieve takeoff. 

Hive Drive to Protect Earth’s Pollinators

Pollinators like bees, butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds are essential to life—but they are in crisis.
