The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago Announces $2,000 Giving Tuesday Match

Chicago, IL — The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Chicago (SVdP Chicago) is preparing for Giving Tuesday (December 2) with a special fundraising initiative: a $2,000 matching gift challenge.

A local donor has pledged to match contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to $2,000, through this Friday, November 28. The campaign aims to encourage community members to maximize their impact during the global day of giving.

“This match means every dollar donated will be doubled, helping us reach more people in need in Cook and Lake Counties,” the organization said in a statement.

SVdP Chicago also announced it has received the 2025 Platinum Transparency Seal from Candid, a nonprofit that tracks and evaluates more than 1.9 million organizations across the United States. The Platinum Seal is Candid’s highest recognition, awarded to nonprofits that demonstrate exceptional accountability and openness.

Supporters can learn more about SVdP Chicago’s leadership, financials, and programs by visiting:

• The organization’s website at www.svdpchicago.org, where the Platinum Seal is displayed on the bottom of the homepage.
• Candid’s website at www.candid.org, and searching for St. Vincent de Paul Archdiocese of Chicago.

With Giving Tuesday just days away, SVdP Chicago is urging donors to take advantage of the matching opportunity and help the organization reach its $30,000 goal.
