Over $1,000,000 has been raised through #iGiveCatholic in northwest Pennsylvania since 2019. With your participation, we look forward to another banner year in 2023!

What is #iGiveCatholic?

#iGiveCatholic is a powerful, 24-hour online giving event to unite the faithful in dioceses across the nation (and the world!) to come together and raise as many charitable dollars as possible for Catholic parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries on #GivingTuesday, November 28, 2023.

What is #GivingTuesday?

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season when many people focus on holiday and end-of-year giving.

When is #iGiveCatholic?

#iGiveCatholic is on #GivingTuesday, November 28, 2023. You can support your local Catholic parish, school, or ministry on that day or you can make an #iGiveCatholic donation at any time during the advanced giving period from November 13 through November 27, 2023. Gifts made by check or cash can be made directly to qualifying organizations during this same time frame.
