SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Today is Giving Tuesday. The widely successful day launched in 2012 and raised $10 million that year.
It is set aside to help out nonprofits, charities, and those with need during the holiday shopping season.
In 2017, the Chronicle of Philanthropy says $274 million was raised. Clearly American's are into this, so how do we make sure our money goes where we want it to go?
