You may have heard about #GivingTuesday, the annual event which occurs on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.  If you have not heard about this until now, it's okay. 

#GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources.

With that in mind, Latino LinQ is now setup so that donations can be accepted via PayPal. In fact,  PayPal Giving Fund is an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) public charity (Federal Tax ID: 45-0931286) that uses PayPal technology and financial support to fundraise for causes, without charging donors or charities for their services.

This year, they are teaming up with Facebook to match 100% of donations made on Giving Tuesday, up to a total of $7 million, to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Because Latino LinQ is one of these nonprofits, we're encouraging all of our supporters to maximize your donation and click on the link or button  at the end of this article tomorrow morning starting at 8 am ET.  Why at that time, you might be asking yourself?  That's when the match officially kicks off.
