Give the Gift of Pain Relief

Most GivingTuesday gifts are spent in weeks. This one works for years.

On GivingTuesday, the world gives back — and the best gifts keep giving. An $80 device sponsorship deploys reusable, drug-free pain relief to someone beyond the reach of pharmacies and clinics: no batteries, no refills, shareable within a household, still working next GivingTuesday and the one after that.

Why This Day

GivingTuesday — the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, December 1 this year — has grown since 2012 into the world's largest generosity movement. According to the GivingTuesday Data Commons, Americans gave $3.6 billion on GivingTuesday 2024 alone.

Here's the question that matters more than the amount: what is your gift still doing a year later? Most charitable dollars buy consumables — doses, meals, supplies — that do real good and are gone. Ours buys a device that stays.

A Gift That Outlasts the Day

A Typical Gift

Funds supplies that are consumed — genuinely helpful, and finished within weeks or months of your donation.

A Device Sponsorship

Funds a reusable, drug-free device with no batteries, electricity, refills, or consumables — deployed through ministries, NGOs, and community health workers, shared within a household, and working for years.

$80 = one device, deployed where pharmacies don't reach.

Give more, and it scales the same way — every donation deploys reusable devices through our Global Pain Relief Initiative. The technology behind each device is backed by published, peer-reviewed research: see Clinical Evidence & Research.

Three Ways to Take Part

1 · Give

Sponsor a device for $80, give any amount, or set up a monthly gift on our donate page. Many employers match GivingTuesday donations — check yours and double the deployment.

2 · Give Smarter

Year-end is the season for donor-advised fund grants, stock, and legacy gifts — often the most tax-efficient ways to give. Start at Ways to Give.

3 · Spread the Word

No budget this year? Share this page with the #GivingTuesday hashtag. Most people have never heard that pain relief can be deployed like this — being the person who tells them costs nothing.

Pain Relief International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 81-2500234) holding the GuideStar Transparency Seal. U.S. donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law — and December gifts count toward this tax year.

Your Gift Today Is Someone's Relief for Years

One Tuesday of generosity. Years of drug-free relief for a household the world's pharmacies never reach. That's the trade — and it's a good one.
