Get ready for GivingTuesday
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encouragespeople to do good. Over the past 13 years, this idea has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental human value anyone can act on.
CONAPAC will be participating in GivingTuesday and we need your help! By joining the GivingTuesday movement, you’re proving that in times of uncertainty, generosity can bring the whole world together.
Kindergarteners with teachers and parents and supplies - Jorge Chavez community
"I give to CONAPAC for several reasons—all related to my trust in the results of the Adopt-A-School program. Adopt-A-School really works. I have seen the excitement of students, multi-year applications of the CONAPAC teacher workshops that give them tools to teach better and to the increased hope that is present. It’s a solid program. It assesses efforts. It’s ethical and believes in the future." --Lundie Spence, Adopt-A-School donor and volunteer
