The world is a better place because of GivingTuesday.  

GivingTuesday is the world’s biggest day of giving back.  Starting in 2012, it was created to encourage kindness and generosity.  Since then, it’s grown into a massive globally celebrated day encouraging one another to give.  According to GivingTueday.org, 75 countries participate, there are over 240 community campaigns in the U.S. alone, and the movement is growing year after year.  

If the entire world took one day and gave, what would that look like?  Who would that benefit?  Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s Co-Founder and CEO, started with these questions and now has an answer.  “Healthy communities are ones where generosity is abundant,” says Curran.  According to her, the idea of radical generosity is achievable not through an expression of charity but through solidarity. 

Non-profits, social enterprises, mutual aid groups, giving platforms, are all organizations that have a platform on GivingTuesday.  People across the world shift their sights to those whose values align with their own.  Donating to your favorite non-profit means your funds are going to a cause that is near and dear to your heart.  It becomes an outlet for people to give, without the expectation of something in return.  As a result, communities and individuals flourish.  

Robe Gifting International is a non-profit designed to gift robes and clergy accessories to faith-based organizations that are financially challenged.  There are so many organizations that don’t use their robes or have upgraded from an old pair.  We at Robe Gifting International simply ask, why not donate them?  Spirituality comes in all shapes and sizes, and we feel everyone should have a way to express that.  

Robe Gifting International is currently seeking used and unused robe donations as well as financial donations to offset the shipping, cleaning, and repair costs.

ONE WORLD ONE ROBE AT A TIME

ROBE GIFTING INTL.

Gifting is not strange or foreign to our original nature. We are accustomed to gifting items to acknowledge a wide array of special events, including holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and even in instances where we applaud accomplishment. In fact, we are in an age where there is a resurgence of “paying it forward” or donating resources and materials to worthy causes.

Robe Gifting was conceived due to the decades spent in the robe manufacturing industry. Many clients often speak of the many unused robes that had just taken up space in their possession with no outlet for their reuse.

In late 2014, the concept launched into motion, meticulously developing the foundation and framework for such an endeavor. During our humble beginning, the platform went viral, and we were inundated with many robe donations. In turn, we began to accept requests, developed a process for refurbishing, and have been able to redistribute to needy groups and individuals alike. RGI has since combined the worker development and career training programs while continuing to nurture our engagement in ongoing community program initiatives. The RGI platform has proven its message, and interest has extended throughout the United States and abroad. We look forward to continuing to serve those who are adamant in their faith and display the willingness to follow the example of love.
