#iGiveCatholic Registration is Open!
#iGiveCatholic is a proven, dynamic crowdfunding event that offers an excellent opportunity for the Catholic Community to come together to give thanks, give back, and give Catholic! The mission of #iGIVECATHOLIC is to unite Catholic communities and donors throughout the country to express their generosity in support of the organizations that have helped to shape our lives of faith: our parishes, schools, and ministries.
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for #iGiveCatholic on Giving Tuesday with our Diocese! #iGiveCatholic takes place on Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with the Advanced Giving Day Phase opening for donations beginning at 12:00 am on Monday, November 17.
This year, GivingTuesday is December 2, 2025. Our Advanced Giving phase starts November 17!
To join us for the tenth annual #iGiveCatholic on GivingTuesday register between AUGUST 18 – NOVEMBER 1.
To participate, your organization must register here: https://www.igivecatholic.org/p/registration
We have included the steps below, along with a few helpful articles in case you get stuck!
RETURNING ORGANIZATIONS:
Please note: Mightycause is currently in the process of migrating data from GiveGab and have not promised completion until September 1. If you are a returning organization, and you try to register before then and DO NOT find your organization in the registration search, we recommend that you wait until after September 1. If you register prior to your history being migrated over, it will mean more work for you to enter organizational information and verify 501c3 status. And you won’t have your donation data or old images and fundraising page copy until the migration is complete! New organizations can register anytime from August 18th until the registration closing date of November 1st.

1. Go to the registration page found HERE: https://www.igivecatholic.org/p/registration
