#iGiveCatholic is Back in 2021!
#iGiveCatholic is a powerful, 24-hour online giving event to unite Catholics across the nation (and the world!) to come together and raise as many charitable dollars as possible for Catholic parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries. Join us in this giving day, facilitated by the Catholic Foundation of Northwest Pennsylvania, for the ministries in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie.
Donors can visit erie.igivecatholic.org on November 30, or anytime during the advanced giving window which runs from November 15 through November 29. Those wishing to donate by check can submit their gift to the ministry of their choice during the same timeframe.
Participating ministries are eligible to win cash prizes by attaining predetermined goals on the day of the event and during the advanced giving period. Over $25,000 will be awarded from a cash prize pool thanks to event sponsors and a generous anonymous donor dedicated to supporting the Catholic community.
In 2020 the Foundation saw participation numbers and dollars raised more than double compared to #iGiveCatholic 2019. Last year 1,389 donors gave $243,498 in support of Catholic organizations throughout northwest Pennsylvania.
Join us! Give Thanks. Give Back. Give Catholic!
#iGive Catholic is part of #GivingTuesday, 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, it kicks off the charitable season when many people focus on holiday and end-of-year giving. In 2020, 1,389 donors gave $243,498 in support of 112 Catholic organizations in northwest Pennsylvania. Support for #iGive Catholic more than doubled from 2019 to 2020!
Gifts can be made on November 30, 2021, or at any time during the advanced giving period from November 15 through November 29. Online gifts of $20 or more can be made by visiting erie.igivecatholic.org and searching for your favorite Catholic organization. Gifts of cash or checks in any amount designated for #iGiveCatholic can be made directly to the organization.

Thank you for your vision, support and encouragement to take part in #iGiveCatholic. I was amazed at the generosity of our people at Saint Callistus. We are also very appreciative of the prizes we won…and to think we almost didn’t participate!
