About Igivecatholic
Igivecatholic’s defining pattern is its annual #iGiveCatholic campaign, which routes major support to Catholic dioceses, parishes, schools, and ministries through a fundraising platform built for donor participation. The largest recent awards in the data all come from campaign participation, including $855,188 to the Catholic Community Foundation Archdiocese of New Orleans in 2023 and $783,461 in 2024, showing repeated support for the same local Catholic fundraising infrastructure over multiple years. That multi-year pattern continues across other diocesan partners as well, with several recipients appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation’s grantmaking is closely tied to Catholic institutions rather than individuals, and the recipient list is made up entirely of U.S. organizations. Recent awards also show that the campaign reaches both archdioceses and dioceses, from major urban centers to smaller Catholic communities. Leadership is listed under Cory J Howat, and the organization’s own summary describes it as a fundraising resource ministry that uses technology to inspire and celebrate generosity across the Catholic Church.
What Igivecatholic Funds
A central theme is diocesan fundraising. Igivecatholic awarded $530,174 to the Archdiocese of Omaha in 2025, reflecting support for large Catholic fundraising campaigns organized at the diocesan level. Parish and school-based ministry support also appears in the recent grants. The Diocese of Lafayette received $303,077 in 2025, and the Diocese of St Augustine received $277,418 in 2025, both tagged as participants in the #iGiveCatholic campaign. The platform also connects to Catholic community foundations and local stewardship work. Catholic Community Foundation of the Diocese of Richmond received $372,713 in 2023, while the Archdiocese of Washington received $198,141 in 2023. These awards fit a pattern of campaign-linked support for Catholic organizations engaged in donor engagement and stewardship.
How Igivecatholic Gives
Typical grant size sits around the middle five figures to low six figures: the 25th percentile is $25,745, the median is $51,409, and the 75th percentile is $133,839. The recent grant list shows repeated awards to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, pointing to a recurring campaign-based model rather than one-off transactions. Igivecatholic is not a funder of individuals, and the site materials point to a platform-enabled structure centered on annual giving, sponsorships, and campaign participation. Public pages reference grant, scholarship, community grant, and funding-opportunity sections, but the scraped content does not show an unsolicited application pathway.
