GIVINGTUESDAY DATA COMMONS 2022 was a year of ambitious scaling and expansion for GivingTuesday Data Commons, the largest philanthropic data collaboration ever built with over 800 collaborators. GivingTuesday forged a new, distributed model of co-creation and a global leadership network that has led to billions of dollars in donations, hundreds of millions of community-level actions, and a presence in 85+ countries. The Data Commons applies the proven distributed model and collaborative culture of GivingTuesday to reimagine both the traditional research institute and the industry data marketplace. Using a collaborative, knowledge-based environment that promotes participation from a wide range of stakeholders, the Data Commons is creating a first of its kind, comprehensive data infrastructure to provide a more complete understanding of global generosity that reflects that generosity is abundant and that giving happens in a variety of ways beyond dollars donated to nonprofits. The Data Commons makes that valuable data accessible with sophisticated, yet accessible tools and reports to inform better decision-making. Its collaborative model connects organizational leaders, academic researchers, policymakers, and social enterprises and enables data-based learning to be integrated into everyday operations and long-term strategic planning. To support expanding the Data Commons Infrastructure and partnerships needed to transform the social sector with the largest collection of comprehensive, up-to-date datasets of giving behaviors around the world, GivingTuesday launched a $26 million capital campaign in 2022, with 50% of the goal already confirmed.
