We hope as you consider which nonprofits to support this year for Giving Tuesday, that you will select us (as one of the nonprofits that does good right where you live) to receive your donation.  Since we are volunteer run, 100 percent of all donations received are used for the Common, whether it’s for gardening, maintenance, improvements, decorating or other seasonal beautification and activities – such as the recent Scarecrow Contest and upcoming Holiday Lighting Celebration.

This year, Giving Tuesday is recognized on December 3, and we are accepting Giving Tuesday donations now through that date.  Your tax-deductible donations may be made by check payable to Douglas Common Preservation Society, Inc. sent to 76 NW Main St, Douglas, MA 01516 or via Venmo @Kathleen-Sugrue-Richards.  Together we will do good and make a positive difference in our own community.

All donors will receive recognition on the Recognition Banner hung at the Common in December.  If you would like your donation to be a Memorial Donation, please indicate your memorial message and that will appear on the Recognition Banner as well.

Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of generosity. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea:  A day that encourages people to do good by supporting nonprofit organizations that make a difference. Since then, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.  Please be part of that movement by supporting the Douglas Common Preservation Society, Inc.

The Douglas Common Preservation Society, Inc. is participating in its first Giving Tuesday since it became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission of beautifying and maintaining the Town-owned Douglas Comm
