The U.S. bishops are once more teaming up with Catholic charity organizations to encourage the faithful to donate to Catholic causes on Giving Tuesday.
In partnership with #iGiveCatholic, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is inviting the faithful to support the Church’s efforts to “feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and preserve our Catholic heritage for future generations.”
“You are an important part of the Church’s mission,” the USCCB states on its donations page. “Thanks to Catholics like you, faith communities and struggling populations in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and other parts of the world can face their challenges and thrive.”
“Contributions are well-managed and put to use quickly,” the bishops added. “Every gift matters — by combining resources we make a tremendous impact and carry out more effectively our mission as Catholics.”
The #iGiveCatholic initiative is led by Archbishop Gregory Aymond of New Orleans; Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C.; and Bishop Joseph Kopacz of Jackson, Mississippi. It is responsible for leading the U.S. Catholic Church’s Giving Tuesday efforts.
The organization is currently updating its donations “leaderboard” on social media.

In its nearly eight-year existence, #iGiveCatholic has expanded to offer giving days year-round through its #iGiveCatholic Together platform, which hosts sites for charitable initiatives.
According to its website, the first #iGiveCatholic on Giving Tuesday was held in 2015 in New Orleans by Aymond, who was the USCCB secretary at the time.
“Orchestrated by the Catholic Foundation for the archdiocese for 112 of their parishes, schools, and ministries,” #iGiveCatholic was launched to encourage Catholic philanthropy and promote development throughout the New Orleans Archdiocese.
Now, bishops and their dioceses across the country unite every year to accept donations from the faithful to support initiatives in the Church at home and abroad.
