The Somerville nonprofit community has once again embarked upon a journey of collaborative fundraising – GivingTuesday Somerville: GiveLocal.  This holiday season, 14 nonprofit organizations are joining forces to collaborate on a second-annual joint fundraising effort as part of the international GivingTuesday program.  GivingTuesday is an annual global day of giving that helps to raise funds and awareness for important causes everywhere.
