Our goal is to partner with you to bring awareness to the joy of philanthropy and the collective impact of charitable giving on our community.
What is Giving Tuesday?
December 2nd is the 2025 global annual day of giving – #GivingTuesday. Following Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, this day encourages and celebrates acts of generosity. The Catholic Foundation of Central Florida invites you to participate with us in lifting up your ministry as a charity worthy of support on #CatholicGivingTuesday.
Why should we participate?
“You have to start somewhere.”
Consistency in participating in Catholic Giving Tuesday builds community awareness and philanthropy. Your community will anticipate the fundraiser annually and be ready to participate!
Catholic Giving Tuesday is a time to remember that even small gifts make a big difference. If two hours spent emailing and posting on social media raises $200, that’s $100 per hour—a strong return on time invested!
Catholic Giving Tuesday is a great initiative to start growing your fundraising efforts.
“Giving Tuesday” is a gentle way of reinforcing the fabric that weaves together our shared lives, and a humble acknowledgement that not one of us can stand alone. We need each other, just as we need our good God. In Pope Francis’s encyclical, Laudato Si, our Holy Father writes; “Jesus reminded us that we have God as our common Father and that this makes us brothers and sisters….We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it.” Giving Tuesday reinforces this notion…that being good and decent (and generous with what our God has given us) is worth it!
— Fr. Charlie Mitchell, Former Pastor, Saint Mary Magdalen Parish

Participating in #CatholicGivingTuesday allows you visibility on this global day of giving and the opportunity for your community to participate in this exciting philanthropic event, right in the middle of the holiday season, when we demonstrate God’s generosity through our gifts to one another.
We look forward to partnering with you to raise awareness of the great work you do and to provide donors with the opportunity to support your ministry this Giving Tuesday.
“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” 1 Peter 4:10
