5 Madison Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

MADISON, CT — If you’re like many of your Madison neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.

Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is a day dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.

Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in the Madison area.

Here are five local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

1. Friends of Hammonasset: The purpose of the organization is to provide environmental education, preserve the integrity of the park’s natural resources, and serve as an advocate for the park.
2. Madison Community Services: Our Mission To stamp out hunger in our hometown by uniting the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
3. Warm the Children: Provides funds to families to make sure children have the warm clothes necessary during the cold winter months.
4. The Madison Foundation: Our focus is, simply, Madison and its citizens.
5. Childhood Cancer Kids: The mission is to raise awareness and money for childhood cancer research, advocacy, and support.
