#iGiveCatholic Campaign 2024
Diocese of Erie - Catholic Schools Office

Project Overview

#iGiveCatholic is an organization that runs the annual U.S. Catholic Church’s giving day on #GivingTuesday. This was the first year that the Catholic Schools Office participated. It had to be done with a gentle approach, as the Superintendent did not want to compete with the participating schools in the Diocese of Erie, but be an option for those who wish to donate to more than one cause.

Animated Email Banner

The Superintendent of the Catholic Schools Office wanted to personally email some of his contacts about the campaign. Wanting to include photos at the bottom of his email, but fearing they might look out of place, he asked me for my opinion. When I mentioned the idea of an animated banner, he instantly loved the idea and wanted to see what I would come up with.#iGiveCatholic encouraged participants to use templates from their website, so I kept to their branding but added the Catholic Schools Office logo and the photos of the STAG award recipients from 2023.The banner was able to be tucked neatly underneath the Superintendent's message so that the email recipients could see how this campaign impacted real families within the Diocese.
