The Catholic Foundation is sponsoring #iGiveCatholic on #GivingTuesday for our fourth year! Last year exceeded all expectations with over 3,000 donors raising $682,000+ for 94 parishes, schools, and ministries! #iGiveCatholic will be held on Tuesday, December 1, but preparations are beginning now.
We believe in the generosity of Catholics in our archdiocese, and 2020 has certainly showed us the importance of engaging our supporters online. Working with the 38 other #iGiveCatholic partner arch/dioceses and foundations across the country, our goal is to unite the Catholic community in support of our parishes, schools, and ministries.
To find out more about the #iGiveCatholic Giving Day, please visit https://cfnga.org/resources/igivecatholic/. We are excited to begin this journey, and we sincerely hope you’ll join us by enrolling your organization to participate!
Key Dates:
- Late summer – Email from the Catholic Foundation to the #iGiveCatholic Administrator we have on file
- August 17 – Registration opens
- October 30 – Registration closes
- November 16 – Advanced Giving begins
- December 1 – #iGiveCatholic on #GivingTuesday
Immediate Next Steps:
- Identify a point person to lead your #iGiveCatholic campaign and have them begin reviewing the information available on our website (http://cfnga.org/resources/igivecatholic/)
- Start scheduling social media posts and bulletin posts using graphics available on our site
- Registration this year will be slightly different than previous years, so keep an eye on an email from the Foundation explaining the new process in late summer
