What is Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday is globally recognized as a day dedicated to giving back. It takes place after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when people around the world come together for a common purpose: to encourage and inspire generosity.

Here’s how Canadians celebrated Giving Tuesday in 2021:

  • More than $515,000 was raised by World Vision Canada
  • Canadians overall gave $43.6 million – an increase of $7.5 million from 2020!
  • Beyond money, Giving Tuesday donors also gave selflessly through volunteer work, clothing drives, food banks, blood donation and more


Giving Tuesday is on November 29, 2022. Join the movement and help transform the lives of children and communities for good.

World Vision Canada partnered with Burnbrae Farms to help give Canadians a chance to double their impact on Giving Tuesday.

For every gift of Hens and Roosters donated from the Gift Catalogue on Giving Tuesday, Burnbrae Farms will generously match your gift, up to $15,000.

These hens and roosters are now providing a source of income to families who sell the eggs at market. What’s more, they’re also providing protein, and vitamin- and nutrient-rich food for growing girls and boys. Watch Cheng Pok’s story to learn more.

Frequently asked questions

For 2022, Burnbrae Farms will match donations up to $15,000 to Hens and Roosters on Giving Tuesday.

2022 marks the eleventh year that World Vision is partnering with Burnbrae Farms, a sixth-generation Canadian family business that has been producing eggs for 75 years. 

Margaret Hudson, president of Burnbrae Farms, says, “At Burnbrae Farms, we go to work every day believing in the value that eggs have for families as a source of nutrition. When you give a gift like Hens and Roosters through the World Vision Gift Catalogue, you’re also giving an economic opportunity for farmers in developing countries, who can sell these eggs at markets to help support their families. We’re excited to see Canadians respond this Giving Tuesday to our offer to match their donations.” 

When you give livestock gifts like Hens and Roosters, it’s part of a greater community development program. Animals are purchased locally and distributed to families in need, along with feed, training and other support. In addition, World Vision provides families with business guidance and skills that helps build strong communities, giving families a sustainable path to a new life.
