On Nov. 27, 2018, Sacred Heart Academy marked its fifth #GivingTuesday, the global day of giving. To honor this milestone anniversary, several new initiatives were put in place. In addition to gifts being made online at sacredhearthamden.org/givingtuesday, donors were able to make gifts on Facebook and through Text2Fund on Sacred Heart’s new software for short-term campaigns.
The Sacred Heart Academy Advisory Council also established a $30,000 matching challenge, matching #GivingTuesday gifts dollar-for-dollar. The combined efforts allowed the school to raise more than $60,000 in a single day.
