Houston, TX – Impact Hub Houston, a locally rooted, globally connected 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering diverse changemakers and social entrepreneurs, has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations, to encourage giving and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Every year, on #GivingTuesday, millions of people across the globe mobilize to show up, give back, and change their communities. The goal is to create a massive wave of generosity that lasts beyond that day, and touches every person around the world.
Impact Hub Houston is building an innovation ecosystem that inspires, connects, and empowers all people working on solutions towards any of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To date, the social enterprise has collaborated with over 40 organizations, grown to nearly 50 members, and reached 358,000 people.
Impact Hub Houston invites Houstonians to #GiveBack by taking time this week to volunteer for an organization that supports an SDG they are passionate about. Impact Hub also invites Houston’s changemakers to join their community to connect with peers and mentors who can help them validate their ideas and build sustainable business models around their solutions so they can forge their own paths to economic resilience and wealth, create jobs and opportunities for others, and successfully participate in the innovation economy.
