What's After Cyber Monday? Giving Tuesday
The Alexandria Harmonizers, the American Diabetes Association, Good 360, SCAN of Northern Virginia and the Inova Health Foundation are just some of the participating nonprofits.
Will donating to charity ever be as popular as shopping during the holiday season?
A partnership of nonprofits hopes so.
Several Alexandria and other Northern Virginia nonprofits are among those using their websites and social media to kick off the first ever Giving Tuesday. See the full list of participating Virginia-based nonprofits here.

A follow-up to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, national and local organizations are asking residents to give back on Tuesday.
The Giving Tuesday website says the effort, coming on the heels of several days devoted to consumerism, is designed "to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations."
