Campaign raises charitable donations for Catholic organizations
#iGiveCatholic is a giving day for the faithful across the nation (and the globe) to come together to raise as many charitable dollars as possible for Catholic parishes, schools and ministries. Last year, #iGiveCatholic raised more than $16.5 million for 2,600-plus organizations across the United States. The advanced giving phase is now through Nov. 28 and leads up to #GivingTuesday on Nov. 29.
The Catholic Foundation is sponsoring the Diocese of St. Augustine’s participation in this Catholic Giving Day for a second year. #iGiveCatholic takes place on #GivingTuesday, Nov. 29, from midnight to 11:59 p.m. for gifts given online at staugustine.igivecatholic.org. There are more than 75 parishes, Catholic schools and ministries that appreciate the community’s support.
In the month of November, there are days to give thanks and purchase gifts for loved ones: Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
