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 2022:

  • $50 million was raised in Canada through online channels on Giving Tuesday* - an increase of $6.4 million from 2021!
  • Beyond money, Giving Tuesday donors also gave selflessly through volunteer work, clothing drives, food banks, blood donation and more

*From all reporting platforms as quoted on givingtuesday.ca

Giving Tuesday is on November 28, 2023. 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.

How will your gift make an impact?

In the last fiscal year, 72,060 animals* were given to families in need through World Vision Canada’s various projects. This has provided families with new means to support themselves. Animals like hens and roosters produce enough eggs in one year to provide families with an ongoing source of income and protein-rich food.

Frequently asked questions

For 2023, Burnbrae Farms will match donations up to $15,000 to the Hens and Roosters gift on Giving Tuesday.

2023 marks the twelfth year that World Vision is partnering with Burnbrae Farms, a sixth-generation Canadian family business that has been producing eggs for 80 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 an important 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.
