3种不用现金的方式就能在“周二回馈日”做出贡献

 　　1. Make plans to volunteer your time.

　　1.做好主动贡献你的时间的计划。

　　Volunteering your time at a local nonprofit is a free way to give back to your community. Giving Tuesday, however, falls on a workday, which means you might not be able to afford to take time off.

　　在一个当地的非盈利机构主动贡献你的时间，是回馈你的社区的一个免费的方法。然而，“周二回馈日”却是在工作日，这就意味着你不或许不能请假。

　　Instead of volunteering on Giving Tuesday itself, make concrete plans to give back on a future date that fits your schedule.

　　不在“周二回馈日”当天的时候参加志愿活动的话，可以通过详细的计划在适合你的将来的某一天回馈社会。

　　You can find nonprofits that welcome volunteers in your area on Giving Tuesday's website or on VolunteerMatch. To find more volunteer work online, check out our resource here.

　　你可以在周二回馈日网站或者志愿者配对网站上，找到你所在区域欢迎志愿者的非营利性机构。为了在网上找到更多的志愿工作，可以点击查看我们这里的资源。

　　2. Offer your skills instead of your funds.

　　2.贡献你的技能而不是现金

　　Skills are irreplaceable, and they're often overlooked. Aside from volunteering your time, volunteering your skills and talents adds a personal touch to giving back.

　　技能是无可替代的，而且技能往往会被忽视。除了贡献你的时间，贡献你的技能和才能为回馈增添了一种个人的感触。

　　If you're well-versed in literature or math, consider tutoring school children in subjects they struggle to grasp. If crocheting¹ and knitting are more your speed, consider creating prosthetic yarn² breasts for women who have undergone mastectomies. If you're an expert conversationalist, visit a senior center to chat with the elderly.

　　如果你精通文学或者数学，可以考虑给那些努力掌握学习课程的学校学生授课。如果钩编和针织技术是你所擅长的，可以考虑给那些经历了乳房切除手术的女性做一些假体纱线乳房。如果你是一位健谈的专家，可以去老年中心和长者交谈。

　　Online services like Catchafire can help you match your skills to a relevant cause. Get creative — and put your talents to work.

　　网上服务，比如Catchafire，可以帮助将你的技能，与相关的事件相匹配。变得更加有创造力——将你的才能投入到工作中。

　　3. Harness the power of Facebook fundraisers.

　　3.利用脸书募捐人的力量

　　Creating a Facebook fundraiser page is a simple way to channel your social media prowess for good. Any Facebook user can make a fundraiser on the platform to benefit more than 750,000 nonprofits, promoting a cause to friends who might have some extra money to give.

　　创建一个脸书资金筹集活动页面是很简单地利用你的社交媒体渠道的一劳永逸的办法。任何脸书的用户都可以建立一个资金筹集活动平台来支持750,000多的非营利性机构，给那些或许有多余的钱捐献的人一个公益理由。

　　Take the initiative to create and run a fundraiser for a worthy³ cause on Giving Tuesday. You can encourage others in a more stable financial situation to donate to an organization you love, and use Facebook Live or personal posts to explain why you care about a certain issue.

　　在“周二反馈日”为一个有价值的公益事件来主动创建组织一个资金筹集活动。你可以鼓励处于更加稳定的财务状况的其他人来给你喜欢的机构捐钱，使用脸书直播或者个人博客来解释你关心一个特定问题的原因。
