Again this year, our Ellis County Catholic schools, TMP-Marian and Holy Family Elementary are participating in iGiveCatholic (iGC). iGC encourages charitable donations on Giving Tuesday, December 3. Donations to either of our Catholic schools through iGC benefit the St. Thomas More Society, the second-largest fund to the benefit of our annual operating budgets.

Advanced giving to iGC begins on Monday, Nov. 18 and 24/7 Travel Stores has generously donated $50,000 of matching funds restricted to Catholic schools in the Salina Diocese.

Gifts are matched at $.50 per dollar up to $1000 max per gift until matching funds are depleted. For every dollar you contribute, 24/7 Travel Stores will give $.50. These matching funds are available beginning with gifts received on Nov. 18.

Last year, TMP-M and HFE earned among the top in the nation against other organizations participating in iGC. With your help, we can do it again.

Donate online starting November 18 at https://salina.igivecatholic.org/organizations/tmpmarian.  Online donations are subject to fees.

Donate offline and your gift will be entered upon receipt. Offline donations are not subject to fees. Deliver your gifts to either school with a memo of iGC and it will be counted as soon as it is received.

Remember, matching funds are available with the first gift on November 18 and likely will not last through Giving Tuesday. Make your gift early to increase it by half.
