#GivingTuesday ushers in the ‘giving season’ for many communities around the world. With so many charitable causes and requests for support, it’s natural to wonder where a donation is needed most, if there’s a “right way” to give, and how much you should give.
Lenovo’s global corporate citizenship team is here to help. From building community partnerships to guiding employee giving programs, we’ve seen what works and what truly lasts. Read on for ‘pro tips’ and don’t forget to give back this giving season!
- If possible, give your time before your money. Volunteering with an organization can help you understand their needs, strengths, and how you can best support them. Also, an organization that manages volunteer time well is probably good at managing other precious resources!

- Don’t worry too much about the size of the contribution. Pick one or two organizations to consistently give to and notice authentic times for you to give (cash or time) throughout the year such as holidays, bonuses, birthdays, or celebrating other milestones… Consistent support adds up over time (especially if your company will match your gift)!
