CHARLOTTE, N.C. — SignUpGenius will donate $50,000 to four nonprofit partner organizations — $12,500 each — in honor of the Giving Tuesday movement and to encourage charitable giving during the holidays.  

On Giving Tuesday, November 28, SignUpGenius employees will present the donations to the company's four partner nonprofits. The North Carolina-based charities provide crucial services to vulnerable and at-risk children in Charlotte and across the globe. The SignUpGenius team will also join the nonprofits to participate in service projects around the Charlotte area. 

"We get to see the impact of millions of people joining together to help important causes on our site year-round," SignUpGenius COO and CMO Angel Rutledge said, "so it's very meaningful for us to be able to support our partner organizations in their world-changing missions to care for vulnerable children. Giving Tuesday provides a great opportunity for businesses and individuals to unite in serving and financially supporting nonprofits." 

The company focuses on helping children through donations to four main partner organizations:

• Samaritan's Purse, a Boone, N.C.-based nonprofit that provides international relief services to victims of war, poverty, natural disaster and disease. The nonprofit is known for its Operation Christmas Child shoebox distribution.
• Brookstone Schools in Charlotte, a growing K-8 school that provides a private Christian education for financially challenged families.
• Christian Adoption Services in Matthews, N.C., a nonprofit that places domestic and foreign-born children with adoptive Christian families. 
• African Christians Fellowship International, a nonprofit that helps indigent and orphaned children in Liberia, West Africa.

Giving Tuesday is a global giving movement held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday giving season and inspire people to donate to the charities and causes they support. 

SignUpGenius donated more than $100,000 to its partner nonprofits and other charitable causes in 2016. The company supports causes that are important to its workers, matching employee donations to registered 501c3 nonprofits up to $500 per year per employee.
