There are just two days left until Giving Tuesday, when caring people around the world will come together to lift up organizations who share their vision of a better future.

But donating isn’t the only way to make a difference on Giving Tuesday. You can also join the global movement by sharing a favorite nature photo, helping to spread the word about EDF’s $3-for-$1 Giving Tuesday match for new monthly gifts, or even starting your own fundraiser on Facebook.

Scroll on for a guide to your options for participating in Giving Tuesday on each of the major social networks, starting with Facebook.

I’m helping my favorite environmental group, EDF, recruit 1,000 new monthly donors to make 2021 a year of bold climate action.

Today only, all monthly gifts will be matched $3-for-$1 for 12 months – quadrupling your gift’s impact for a full year.
