What #iGiveCatholic does

#iGiveCatholic is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 61-1846962) that operates the U.S. Catholic Church's annual giving day on GivingTuesday, scheduled for December 1, 2026. It is a bishop-led initiative executed in collaboration with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and dozens of individual dioceses, serving Catholic parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries as its primary constituents. The organization also runs the Nebraska Catholic Day of Giving in May and supports year-round online giving for participating organizations.

The platform is powered by Mightycause technology, which handles donation processing, event logistics, and donor management. Feature set includes web donations, SMS/text-to-donate, and event-day giving flows, layered on top of the annual flagship event. The technology stack is therefore an outsourced SaaS model rather than an in-house build.

Revenue is generated through two mechanisms. First, transaction fees on donations: 7.9% plus $0.30 per transaction for non-subscribing organizations and 6.9% plus $0.30 for subscribers. Second, tiered corporate/institutional sponsorships priced from $3,500 to $50,000, which underwrite the annual and regional giving days. The combined model produces a small-scale nonprofit revenue base with diversified long-tail donors as customers and a more concentrated sponsorship revenue layer on top.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Network for Good: Network for Good (now part of Bonterra) provides online fundraising, donation processing, and donor management for nonprofits. As a broad incumbent in the nonprofit software space, it overlaps significantly with the giving day and online donation capabilities of #iGiveCatholic.
• Bonterra (Classy + Network for Good + GiveGab): Bonterra is a broad nonprofit technology incumbent combining Classy, GiveGab, and Network for Good. Its suite spans giving days, peer-to-peer fundraising, and donor CRM, providing a wide portfolio that competes with focused platforms like #iGiveCatholic.
• PayPal Giving Fund: PayPal Giving Fund enables donations to verified 501(c)(3) organizations through a national platform, providing an alternative for faith-based nonprofits to receive donations. It is comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for the same donor and nonprofit funds.

Emerging players

• Qgiv: Qgiv provides online fundraising tools for nonprofits including event registration, donation forms, and peer-to-peer campaigns. It competes in the same donation-software category and overlaps with #iGiveCatholic's event-driven giving day functionality.
• Snowball Fundraising: Snowball Fundraising is an online giving platform focused on nonprofit donation pages, recurring giving, and text-to-give for organizations, including faith-based ones. It overlaps with #iGiveCatholic's donation-page and SMS donation capabilities on a smaller scale.

Others

• American Catholic (American Catholic Press / Relevant Radio): Relevant Radio and affiliated Catholic media efforts reach the same U.S. Catholic donor base that #iGiveCatholic targets through its giving day. While not a donation platform, it is a comparable Catholic ecosystem partner that could co-promote or compete for Catholic donor attention.

Direct peers

• Funraise: Funraise is a nonprofit fundraising platform offering donation pages, events, and peer-to-peer fundraising. It targets the same nonprofit and faith-based segments and operates giving day-type campaigns as well as year-round fundraising.
• Donorbox: Donorbox is an online donation and fundraising platform serving nonprofits and faith-based organizations. It offers recurring giving, donation pages, and event-based fundraising functionality similar to #iGiveCatholic's model.
• GiveGab: GiveGab is a leading dedicated giving day platform used for large-scale community and nonprofit giving days. Its model of aggregating many nonprofits onto a unified giving day is directly comparable to #iGiveCatholic's approach to a faith-based giving day.
• Mightycause: Mightycause is the underlying technology platform that powers #iGiveCatholic's donation processing, organization registration, and fundraising pages. Because Mightycause also hosts giving days for other causes and individual fundraisers, it operates as both infrastructure provider and a close competitive peer in the online giving day space.
