GIVING TUESDAY – DECEMBER 1!
Our parish is once again participating in Giving Tuesday on December 1!
Thanks to your incredible generosity last year, we were able to purchase new microphones for our liturgies and a projector for our Multipurpose Room.
This year, we are excited to focus on improving The Good Shepherd Coffee Center in our parish gathering area. Our goal is to create a warmer, more welcoming space where parishioners can come together, enjoy fellowship, build friendships, and strengthen our sense of community.
With your generosity and support, we can make this vision a reality!
OUR GOAL: $20,000
Thank you for your continued generosity and for helping make our parish a welcoming home for everyone!
Giving Tuesday Challenge Grants – Maximizing Donor Gifts
The Catholic Foundation of West Michigan will again offer up to $10,000 in “challenge grants” keyed to a menu of five (5) giving periods throughout the Giving Tuesday Day, December 1. Last year, the foundation distributed $9,400 in challenge grants.
Here are the five challenge grant areas on December 1:
-
5:00 am Challenge – If a donation to the SFDS site is among the first 10 after 5 a.m. December 1, the parish receives a $500 grant.
-
11 to 11:59am Challenge - $500 grant to an entity based on a donor drawn at random
-
Most Funds 11am to 1pm Challenge -- $1000 grant to entity that raised the most funds in that two-hour period.
-
Unique Donors Challenge -- $500 grant to the first two entities that are the first to have at least 30 unique donors; $250 grant to the next 10 entities to reach at least 30 unique donors.
-
Most Unique Donors Challenge - $1,250 grant to the entity that has the most unique donors; $1,000 grant to the entity with the second most unique donors; $750 grant to the entity with the third most unique donors.
All online donations are time-stamped to determine eligibility for each of the five challenge grant categories. Last year Holy Spirit Parish earned the maximum in challenge grants.
