Form You Own Giving Circle
Giving Circles are a great way for people of like values to make a greater impact with their charitable dollars. GivingTuesday is a perfect opportunity to do that and easy!
The group can be two, ten or whatever number you decide. Start small and watch the number of members and donations grow to benefit the Sisters and their ministries. As a part of your collective, the individual member’s donation(s) are magnified.
How do I form a Giving Circle:
- Invite friends and family
- Share why you support the Benedictine Sisters of Florida
- Name the group
- Each member can donate at their comfort level (i.e. $5.00, $10, $100 or more)
- Only the group’s total amount will be publicly announced
- Be sure members indicate when they donate, they are part of your group
- Celebrate together after Giving Tuesday!
Options to Give:
1. By Mail:
- Send a check to the Benedictine Sisters of Florida postmarked by Nov. 30th
- PO Box 2450, St. Leo, FL 33574-2450
- Be sure to include your group’s name on the memo line
- Online:
- Go to our website: benedictinesistersoffl.org
- Click on the “Donate Now” button at the top of the page
- Fill-in the form and designate your donation for “Giving Tuesday”
- You can fill-in the “dedicated to” box with the name of your group
Keep it interesting: Going forward you can plan to create a logo for your group; members might want to invite other like-minded people to the group; give youngsters their first experience with giving back with their own donation. YOU envision what your circle can be and know that God is smiling upon what gets accomplished in Christ’s name.
