What is #iGiveCatholic?
#iGiveCatholic is a Giving Day that provides Catholic parishes, schools, and ministries in participating dioceses across the country the opportunity to connect with current donors and establish relationships with new supporters. The goal of #iGiveCatholic is to inspire the Catholic community to come together as faithful stewards and to “Give Catholic” on #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to generosity and kindness.
When is #iGiveCatholic?
#iGiveCatholic takes place on #GivingTuesday (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving) 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. There is an Advanced Giving phase (acts like a silent phase of a capital campaign) for online and offline “pre-Giving Day” gifts for two weeks prior to Giving Tuesday.
Why host a day of Catholic giving on #GivingTuesday?
We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for purchasing gifts for loved ones—Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And for the tenth year, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to generosity. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, individuals and organizations around the world will come together for one common purpose: To celebrate kindness, live generously, and to give back.
How does #iGiveCatholic work?
Anyone can donate either online through the platform, or offline by gift of cash or check given directly to the church. Registered parishioners who have provided us with an email will receive an email with a link to the online giving platform. We’ll also post this link on our Facebook page and our website. All monies donated will be available to the church within a week of the donation date. We’ll let everyone know how much we raise for our ministries.
