#iGiveCatholic is a one-day online giving event for 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, December 1, 2020. Last year, #iGiveCatholic raised more than $7.4 million for organizations in participating dioceses.

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

This year #iGiveCatholic is on #GivingTuesday, November 30, 2021 from 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM (midnight to midnight) CST and takes place at lafayette.iGiveCatholic.org.
