Inspiredu, a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the digital divide, is hosting a lively phone-a-thon for Giving Tuesday on Nov. 28. The event is a part of the non-profit’s Brighter Future campaign, aiming to raise $50K to provide technology access to hundreds of families in Georgia.
A phone-a-thon usually acts as a fundraiser where volunteers come together and call multiple people to gain financial support for a noble cause.
Giving Tuesday, a national day of philanthropy, has been transformed into a day of connection and community building by Inspiredu. The day features a family learning workshop, a volunteer caller marathon and donor perspectives.
