Red Dirt Relief Fund will also be encouraging donations on Facebook, as the social media platform will match up to $7 million starting at 7:00 am CST on December 3, 2019. All donations made through Facebook are fee free meaning 100 percent goes to the nonprofit organization.
Last year #GivingTunesday raised more than $7,000 for Oklahoma musicians in crisis through the nonprofit Red Dirt Relief Fund. RDRF has granted more than $170,000 to Oklahoma music people across genres and geographies since it was founded in 2012.
#GivingTuesday unites countries around the world by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges.
