Giving Tuesday was started by the United Nations Foundation and it brings together companies and organizations from around the world to raise millions for charities. Starting this Giving Tuesday, the Chicago-based nonprofit Opportunity International is partnering with retailers Evereve and Cabi (both female-led businesses from the Midwest) to launch initiatives across the U.S. that support emerging women entrepreneurs around the globe. Vicki Escarra, CEO of Opportunity International and Megan Tamte, the CEO of Evereve join us to talk about the project. (photo: courtesy of Opportunity International)
