#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, December 1, 2020 from 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM (midnight to midnight) CST and takes place at lafayette.iGiveCatholic.org. 

2019 was our first year to offer prizes, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. The only restriction that we did place on these prizes was that prizes were limited to one per organization. In the event that an entity won in more than one category, they would earn the prize with the highest cash value.
