The end of November brings us to a day for giving thanks. We then have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give. Giving is great for many reasons but is your gift having the greatest return it can have?
