#iGiveCatholic

is a bishop-led initiative in collaboration with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and dozens of individual dioceses to bring the Catholic community together to inspire and support generosity. #iGiveCatholic is an independent 501c3 organization that runs the annual U.S. Catholic Church’s giving day as well as year-round online giving for Catholic organizations including Catholic giving days outside of GivingTuesday.

#iGiveCatholic started as a Catholic giving day for the Archdiocese of New Orleans in 2015. Since then, this Catholic Day of Giving has raised over $90 Million for thousands of parishes, schools and ministries. It now partners with over 54 dioceses in the United States and Puerto Rico to Inspire and Celebrate Generosity in our Catholic Communities!

A pastor whose parish has raised over $1 Million in their ten years of #iGiveCatholic on GivingTuesday campaigns gives the following valuable advice:

Choose a campaign project that is...

1. 1. 1. SPECIFIC
      2. VISIBLE
      3. ACHIEVABLE

Here is a video about another veteran #iGiveCatholic participant who has consistently ranked in the top five of all national organizations in the number of unique donors contributing to their campaign. And they're a small, suburban parish and school! Watch to hear about the #iGiveCatholic impact on St. Benilde Catholic Church and School. 

thank you for giving back and giving catholic!
