Not only can you search for a specific charity's Financial Health and Accountability & Transparency rating, but you can also browse through curated lists of nonprofits that are responding to currentevents or disasters and those that have high-impact ratings. Charity Navigator also has a Giving Basket tool that allows you to support your selected charities through one checkout.

Giving Tuesday has also launched a series of 'Giving Guides' on social media, inspiring the community with different ways they can give back this December 1.
