Donate a Day's Wages to Charity Day
Donate a Day's Wages to Charity Day is observed next on Wednesday, May 14th, 2025 (173 days from today).
Donate a Day’s Wages to Charity Day is holiday to encourage people around the world to donate.
We all have causes we care about, problems we would like to see removed from society, and problems that have affected us deeply throughout our lives. However, most people are busy and don't have the time or opportunity to give as much as they would like to the charities and activities of their choice.
Donate a Day’s Wages to Charity Day aims to change that. Whether you're having a hard time making a charitable donation and you want to make a difference or you believe you should make an important commitment once a year, this is the day to do it.
Donate a Day’s Wages to Charity Day’s history
Donate a Day's Wages to Charity Day belongs to the movement named One Day’s Wages, which first started in 2009. The day was created to not only honor the many organizations out there that have done good work, and is very important for the benefit of others, domestically and around the globe. It was also created to remind people that they have the power to change the world.
Since Donate a Day's Wages to Charity Day began, this day has grown as an international movement encouraging people to donate a day's wages to charity. While, over a one-year period, this isn't much, it's much larger than the average donation amount.
However, that date has become more like that donation. It has provided a platform for charities and nonprofits to speak about their causes honors the transparent, trustworthy charities out there and provides volunteers, sponsors and partners a community to share their passion for forgiveness.
At present, Donate a Day's Wages to Charity Day continues today, made possible not only by the Wage for a Day movement but by encouragement, to individuals and groups around the world.
