On November 29, 2022, people all around the world are coming together to tap into the power of human connection and strengthen communities and change our world. Will you be one of them?
The National Indian Council on Aging, Inc. (NICOA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976 focused on the needs of aging American Indian and Alaska Native elders. For nearly 45 years, NICOA has worked to ensure the best for our Native elders, their families, and communities.
NICOA will be participating in GivingTuesday and we need your help! By joining the GivingTuesday movement, you’re proving that in times of uncertainty, generosity can bring us together.
Here is how you can get ready to give:
1. Mark your calendar. Add to Calendar
2. Give.
On November 29, go to www.nicoa.org/donate and give. You can also support our organization by sharing your stories with us, or by volunteering to help at our 2023 American Indian Elders Conference.
NICOA is listed on Network for Good and GoFundMe. These options are safe, quick and convenient. But if you’d prefer, you can also fill out and mail in our general donation form or tribal/corporate donation form.
Did you know that each year, an estimated $4-7 billion in corporate matching gift funds goes unclaimed? Check with your employer to see if they match donations! You can do this quickly by using Double the Donation — which is offering their tool for free on GivingTuesday! You can also choose to donate stock with these easy tips found in this guide from Donate Stock.
3. 
Spread the word.
Giving is so much more impactful (and fun) when it’s done in a group! Think about your group chat, your block club, your neighborhood Facebook or Nextdoor group. Encourage your friends and family to join you in creating real impact on November 29 by sharing what our mission means to you and why you support our organization. Make sure to tag us so we can share!
4. Share our social media channels.
Share our social media channels in your organizational and personal social network. Use our sample messages and graphics to show your support for NICOA on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Talk about giving and generosity using the hashtag #GivingTuesday.
Share our Facebook posts — facebook.com/NICOAAging. Follow us on Twitter @NICOA_Aging and find us on Instagram @nationalindiancouncilonaging. Help us connect with others by using social media to spread the word!
Grassroots generosity and community action are powerful forces for good, especially in turbulent times. GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity — to use their individual power of generosity to remain connected and heal. Let’s rally together to build stronger communities.
