GivingTuesday 2025 (Seungjoon Luke)

Hello!

My name is Seungjoon Luke Lee, and I am the General Director of FSI-GHSU (Freedom Speakers International Global High School Union).

On December 2, 2025, GivingTuesday Korea joins the global GivingTuesday movement—a day dedicated to inspiring generosity and transforming communities. GivingTuesday is a worldwide call to action, encouraging everyone to give back in any way they can, whether through donations, volunteering, or acts of kindness.

This year, we invite you to be part of a movement that brings hope and positive change to those in need across Korea. Every act of generosity counts, and together, we can build a better future for our communities.

How You Can Participate:
- Make a donation through this fundraiser to support local causes and nonprofits such as GivingTuesay Korea and Freedom Speakers International (FSI).
- Spread the word on social media using tags such as #GivingTuesdayKorea and #FreedomSpeakersInternational (FSI) to inspire others.
- Volunteer your time and skills to help those in need.

Your contribution—big or small—will help create ripples of positive impact throughout our society. Let’s come together to make GivingTuesday 2025 a day of hope, compassion, and collective action.

Join us. Give generously. Make a difference.

“GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. Every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in.”

Let’s show the world the spirit of giving in Korea!

Thanks to a generous South Korean donor, Freedom Speakers International is running a Matching Challenge to empower North Korean refugees.

The Matching Donor has pledged $42,000 to FSI or $3,500 per month. The sooner we can hit the goal, the sooner we can get the money.

At FSI, we empower North Korean refugees through education and public speaking. Participants build English skills, develop confidence on stage, and learn how to present their own experiences with accuracy and dignity. Many now speak at universities, conferences, and public forums around the world. Some are publishing books, contributing to media discussions, and telling their stories in English for the first time.

This Matching Challenge allows every fundraiser created and every contribution made to have a greater impact. By starting or supporting a fundraiser, you help unlock additional matching funds that directly support mentoring, training sessions, speech preparation, and public events.

How can you join this?

* Become a monthly donor of any amount. 

* If you are already a monthly donor, you may switch your monthly donation to this fundraiser.

* Set up a fundraiser in support of this project.

Even if your fundraiser does not raise money, creating one still matters. Each new fundraiser increases visibility, expands our reach, and helps us unlock more support through the matching challenge.
