We are proud to take part in our 9th year of #GivingTuesday—a global movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity. Each year we give to our team and the organizations fighting for the causes we care about most. By doing this, we as individuals, and as a company, can play a small part in building the world we want to live in.
Gifted by Mica
“Giving back to my home country has always been close to my heart. This year, I chose to support ShareTheMeal’s program in the Philippines, where 25 million people live below the poverty line, and relentless natural disasters like Typhoon Man-Yi—the most recent of four typhoons in just two weeks—exacerbate their struggles. ShareTheMeal helps provide critical emergency aid, school meals, nutrition programs, and resilience-building projects, making a real difference in the lives of families facing these challenges.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Mica has supported International Rescue Committee, Sandy Hook Promise, Project C.U.R.E., For the Future, and Kids4Kids.
Gifted by Travis
“This year I’m donating to the Wikimedia Foundation which is the parent organization to Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and other free knowledge projects. The Wikimedia Foundation maintains one of the internet’s most vital educational resources without relying on advertising or selling user data, and in supporting them, we’re helping to keep their platforms running. My donation will play a small part in supporting the democratization of knowledge and ensuring that free, reliable information remains accessible to everyone around the world regardless of location and economic status.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Travis has supported Doctors Without Borders, Fair Fight, the Innocence Project, San Diego Canyon Lands, International Rescue Committee, Environmental Defense Fund, ProPublica, Feeding San Diego, and Farm Sanctuary.
Gifted by Misha
“This year, I’m donating to the San Diego Library Foundation. The San Diego Library Foundation is a vital resource for fostering education, equity, and community resilience—values that are more important than ever. Public libraries are sanctuaries of free thought, access to reliable information, and opportunities for lifelong learning, bridging gaps across socioeconomic divides. Supporting the foundation helps them expand access to literacy programs, internet services, and cultural events, empowering individuals to stay informed and engaged in shaping a better future.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Misha has supported UNICEF, The Ocean Cleanup, Computers 2 Kids, Feeding San Diego, Voice of San Diego, GRID Alternatives, America Civil Liberties Union, and Think Dignity.
Gifted by Dana
“I chose to give my contribution locally to Save Oceanside Sand. I continue to give locally because the more involved I get in my community the more I understand that a little bit can make a huge difference in the place I live and invest my time and money. Their mission is to encourage the City of Oceanside to approve and fund a sustainable and permanent solution to protect and restore the natural ecosystems that are disappearing from our beaches. The loss of sand is an infrastructure, habitat, and safety issue. As an avid Oceanside beachgoer all year round, this is a cause that is close to my heart, and I’m proud to contribute to it with the support of Visceral.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Dana has supported Oceanside Public Library Foundation, The Old Globe, Mama’s Kitchen, San Diego Library Foundation, Tisch MS Research Center of New York, Global Fund for Women, and The Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Gifted by Jess
“This Giving Tuesday, I have chosen the Wildcoast Conservation, an incredible conservation organization that preserves coastal and marine ecosystems. Being based in San Diego they’re doing amazing work right in our community while also protecting critical marine habitats, endangered species, and pristine coastlines throughout the Americas. I’m particularly impressed by their work establishing Marine Protected Areas, conserving sea turtle populations, and protecting coral reefs.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Jess has supported Surfrider Foundation and Ronald McDonald House of Charities.
Gifted by Jay
“We’ve been heavily involved with BFG for years now, and I cannot think of a more kind, passionate group of people. These are people who care deeply about improving the lives of San Diegans, and working with them gives me hope and is a constant reminder of the importance of community and the dedication to something bigger than any of us as individuals. I am proud to be a small part of this scrappy team and to continue to support it and build the movement.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Jay has supported GRID Alternatives, Climate Action Campaign, Civic Alliance, #SaveOurStages, B Lab, 350.org, Red Cross Hurricane Maria Disaster Relief, National Resources Defense Council, Frontline Foods, and Free Press Action Fund.
Gifted by Matthew
“This Giving Tuesday, I am proud to support the Afro American Music Institute (AAMI) because of its dedication to empowering individuals through music education rooted in African American traditions. As someone who has previously donated to education-focused nonprofits, I value AAMI’s commitment to nurturing talent, cultural heritage, and community connection through gospel, jazz, and spiritual music. Their work provides students of all ages with transformative opportunities to grow as musicians and as individuals. I’m supporting AAMI to help ensure that arts education remains accessible to underserved communities.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Matthew has supported The Education Trust, Education Foundation for Freedom, The Brotherhood Sister Sol, Freedom A La Cart, City Year, TECH CORPS, SAE Foundation, Project H, and Americans for the Arts Action Fund.
Gifted by Allen
“This year, I donated to the Lowcountry Land Trust because, as a proud resident, I’m committed to preserving coastal South Carolina. Living in Charleston, I’ve seen the Land Trust conserve over 162,000 acres, protecting vital habitats, iconic vistas, and pristine waterways. Their work ensures future generations can experience the unique beauty, biodiversity, and cultural heritage of this special place I call home.”
On previous GivingTuesdays, Allen has supported Charleston Waterkeeper, Opportunity Fund’s Small Business Relief Fund, Art FORM, Rails to Trails Conservancy, Water Mission, The Planetary Society, San Diego Small Business Relief Fund, and the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition.
