"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." —Sir Winston Churchill
I trust you enjoyed Thanksgiving with your family. First, there was "Black Friday." Then came "Cyber Monday." Today is "Giving Tuesday!" Whether you shopped in-store or online in the last few days, today is for giving instead of getting!
Giving Tuesday is a movement that started a few years ago to encourage folks to support the causes that are important to them. For this #GivingTuesday, NFI wants you, our dedicated blog reader, involved in generating support for our work to connect fathers to their children.
Here are two ways you can help us make #GivingTuesday a success:

You read our blog, but you may not realize just how much work we do to strengthen fatherhood. Here are a few recent accomplishments we are especially proud of:
- We just delivered over 117,000 resources to 69 Army bases worldwide to build Army dads’ skills.
- We have now distributed over 6.6 million fatherhood skill-building resources.
- We have trained over 13,400 practitioners from over 6,200 organizations on how to deliver our programming into their communities.
- Our program for incarcerated fathers was just listed on the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices.
