Today is Giving Tuesday, Celebrated in 90 Countries!

Today is Giving Tuesday, Celebrated in 90 Countries!

The Dinar Recaps Team believes in giving back to the helpers who make our world a better place, one community at a time. Nonprofit (NPO) and Nongovernmental (NGO) organizations work on the front lines every day, to make a difference for those in need, to celebrate arts, culture, healthy living, and education for all, among many other causes.

This year, Dinar Recaps has chosen Rise and Share (an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) charity) as our 2024 Giving Tuesday charity of choice!

As a charitable organization that serves other nonprofits, all donations to Rise and Share will support their expansion campaign to serve 100 additional nonprofits by the end of 2025. A gift to Rise and Share is a great choice for our readers who care about multiple causes, from animal welfare to youth service, from chronic illness to the arts, from the military to programs for the aging and in underserved communities.

To maximize a matching gift offer from an anonymous donor, we humbly invite our Dinar Recaps family to join us in supporting Rise and Share this Giving Tuesday. Any donation, no matter how small or large, is invaluable and very much appreciated. And to keep you updated on cause-related news, look for #GivingEveryTuesday posts throughout the new year. Donations may be made at this link: CLICK HERE (or use this QR code on your phone.)

While we wait... let’s think about other ways each of us can help in our local communities, volunteering or donating goods and funds, sharing our talents and championing the causes we care about.

What is Giving Tuesday?

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

GivingTuesday strives to build a world in which the catalytic power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe.

GivingTuesday’s global network collaborates year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life.

What is radical generosity?

While many call on philanthropists, policymakers and grantmakers to repair broken systems, GivingTuesday recognizes that we each can drive an enormous amount of positive change by rooting our everyday actions, decisions and behavior in radical generosity—the concept that the suffering of others should be as intolerable to us as our own suffering. Radical generosity invites people in to give what they can to create systemic change.

When is Giving Tuesday?

Every day, although the annual celebration event will take place this year on December 3, 2024!

Who organizes GivingTuesday?

GivingTuesday is an independent nonprofit organization that is dedicated to unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. The movement is organized in partnership with GivingTuesday’s global network of leaders, partners, communities and generous individuals.

Giving Tuesday’s ultimate goal is to create a more just and generous world, one where generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe.

What is a GivingTuesday COUNTRY movement?

GivingTuesday is hosted in 90 countries by leaders who are passionate about growing radical generosity. They rally nonprofits, businesses, and individuals throughout their countries. To get involved in GivingTuesday in your country, CLICK HERE https://www.givingtuesday.org/global/.

What is a GivingTuesday COMMUNITY movement?

GivingTuesday Communities come together around a common geography (e.g., city, state, region) or issue area (e.g., Military, Women/Girls) to collaborate, innovate, transform, and inspire their communities to make a difference. These Community campaigns find creative ways to mobilize their networks, host volunteer events, raise funds for their local nonprofits, spark waves of kindness, and much more. CLICK HERE to find and connect with a local GivingTuesday community group where you live.

Who can participate?

Everyone! GivingTuesday has been built by a broad coalition of partners, including individuals, families, nonprofits, schools, religious organizations, small businesses and corporations. There are people and organizations participating in GivingTuesday in every country in the world.

Participating in GivingTuesday is about joining a movement for generosity, and there are so many ways to do that. Whether you give your voice, goods, your time, or your money, being generous is a way to fight for the causes you care about and help people in need.

What do you do on GivingTuesday?

On GivingTuesday, millions of people all around the world, use their power of radical generosity to change the world. They volunteer at homeless shelters, organize food drives, fill their community fridges, donate to mutual aid funds, spread messages of solidarity and hope.

Don’t Let This Happen to You

Investorchick at TNT:   Lotto Winner Loses It All

I had the pleasure of meeting a very charming senior in the last few weeks.  It's my friends mother and this lady is in her 70's.  

She won 5 million dollars in the year 2000.  I saw a copy of the cheque on the fridge at her son's house.  I did a double take because I've never seen a cheque that large.  

Of course me being a Dinarian and riding this crazy ride along with all of the others, I have been fortunate enough over the past 5 years to have been educated by people like Tony etc and I have done my research about this kind of thing.

All of us have been told the statistics and I do realize that all of this waiting has been hard, although the real challenge comes after our blessing arrives.  

My friend told me the story of how his mother had won the lottery and how she had come to "lose it all".  

I was fascinated because although we hear about it, I had never met someone in this unique situation.  This is her story in a nutshell.  

She won 5 million dollars and was not financially educated in any formal way.  She made her decisions quickly and without professional help.  Her son told me she wanted to "show them all" who she was and rub it in their face, whoever "they" are.  

She gave $500,000 to her sister and then $600,000 to each son.  She was down 1.7 million to start and it gets dramatically worse from there.

 Her sons accepted the gift and my friend was in a not great marriage and of course since he had just received $600,000 from his mother that was not his own lotto winning or an inheritance, his wife when she divorced him was entitled to half.  

The other son burned through his quickly as he also had no formal education or did not seek professional help.

 My friend however did the wise thing and invested his remaining $300,000, he still has it 15 years later and it's making him money daily.  

I repeat, it's invested professionally and it makes him a return daily!  

This lady bought a brand new house, hired an interior designer and of course the new performance car, fully loaded.  She spent 30-40 THOUSAND per month at the casino because they were "so nice to her", no kidding!  

She brought her sister for company and of course her sister didn't spend any of her $500,000. She had an addiction to scratch tickets and lotto tickets even though she had already won.

She handed out $50 tips at the grocery store to the cashiers etc.  She had the life she always wanted and she sure made a big splash doing it.  

It didn't take long for the money to run out and her to be in a worse situation then when she won the money.  

I sat and listened in sheer amazement!  I gave her a ride home that night because the battery on her car was going and she didn't have the money for a new one, imagine!  

Her son was taking it to be fixed the next day for her and footing the bill.

 I drove her home and she went on and on about her house etc.  I drove up and although it's a beautiful place it was overgrown and unkept, no money for maintenance, the neighbours must be thrilled.  

She invited me in and was proud to show me all of her treasures.  My heart truly went out to her as there she was and now it's all gone and the house will be going soon too.  

I looked at her and gently asked if she had to do it all over, what would she do different?  She looked down and thought about it, looked up at me and said she would have got some help.  

Everyone was my friend, she said, until the money ran out.  I wished her good night and got in my car and thanked God for that experience in person and up close.

 It's real, it happens and it will happen to some of you. 

I told her son about this investment and he has some currency, I know she will be looked after but it sure makes you think.

How many shots at wealth does a person generally get in their lifetime?

 I'm thinking not too many.  

The sad thing about it, is how much she gambled away looking for money and "the win" again.  

Folks, when this blessing arrives, your ship came in and this for most of us will be the one shot you get at wealth.  Don't waste it!  

There are several lessons to be learned from this story.

Be wise, move with caution and be deliberate with your actions.  I truly hope by sharing this story, it can help at least one person, my eyes have sure been opened!
