This Giving Tuesday we encourage you to donate, support, or follow organizations working to solve pressing challenges through audacious thinking and bold action.

For many people the holiday season offers an opportunity to reflect on the family, friends, and communities who have supported us in the past year -- both those we've gained, and those we've lost. It's been an incredibly difficult year for many of us, but at Panorama we're also energized by so many of the advocates, leaders, and organizations working to make the world more just, equitable, and safe.

Our "Panorama Gives Back" program supports staff volunteer time and provides charitable contributions to organizations working to create positive change beyond our current portfolios. Each year, we collect staff suggestions for organizations to consider for the program, which we've listed below.

If you need ideas for organizations to support these Giving Tuesday, we hope you will consider supporting some of them. Where possible we have included not only links to make donations, but also other actions you can take to show your support.
