#iGiveCatholic is nationally recognized as the official Catholic Giving Day, hosted on GivingTuesday, that celebrates and supports parishes, schools, and charitable ministries.
PHILADELPHIA, November 18, 2025 – Over 100 Catholic parishes, schools, and charitable ministries throughout the Catholic Church of Philadelphia will participate in #iGiveCatholic this year. The initiative, locally spearheaded by The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia in partnership with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, has raised more than $7.4 million for Catholic entities in the Archdiocese since 2020.
#iGiveCatholic is nationally recognized as the official Catholic Giving Day. It is celebrated annually on GivingTuesday, which follows Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. There is an Advanced Giving phase that takes now through Monday, December 1, culminating in the Giving Day on Tuesday, December 2.
Last year, nearly 7,000 donors participated in this Catholic giving day raising $1.8 million to benefit over 90 local Catholic organizations.
#iGiveCatholic promotes a collective culture of Catholic philanthropy in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, helping to build sustainable annual fundraising capacity for parishes, schools, and organizations. New for 2025, participants can also track volunteer hours during the campaign, recognizing that Catholic giving includes time and talent as well as treasure. Some participating organizations may log volunteer hours taking place during the giving phase, while others may host service opportunities to engage students, staff, and donors in the spirit of Catholic service.
While the #iGiveCatholic giving day is held on December 2, 2025, donors can support this year’s campaign beginning now by visiting PhillyGivesCatholic.org to make a gift or learn more about participating Catholic organizations.
