Social Media Giving Day Date in the current year: July 15, 2025

Founded by Chris Sommers, Givver.com was a St. Louis-based technology platform focused on nonprofits. The platform encouraged social media users to donate via social networks, particularly Twitter.

Donating with Givver was simple. All you had to do was sign up and tweet your donation. Your tweet had to include the #give hashtag, the Twitter handle of the cause you wanted to support, and the amount you were willing to donate. Givver provided an opportunity to support a variety of nonprofit, educational, and political organizations.

Although the platform has since become defunct, Social Media Giving Day lives on. It aims to promote social media as a means of supporting charities and causes through donations and to raise public awareness about the importance of fundraising. Some mayors and governors across the United States have declared the holiday, but it has not yet received national status.
