On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, you can help us launch a new tradition by joining the national movement that celebrates generosity called #GivingTuesday. We're excited to participate in #GivingTuesday.

After all, giving is at the very foundation of St. Vladimir's mission. Our professors give their hearts to teach the Gospel of Christ. Our students give their time to prepare for service in the Church. Our graduates give their lives to minister to Christ's flock.

Our goal this year is to raise $5,000 in 24 hours. And, thanks to 4 generous supporters pledging matching gifts totaling $20,000, your online gift made on December 2 will be multiplied 5 times. If you help us raise $5,000 on #GivingTuesday, St. Vladimir's will receive $25,000!

And because we believe in giving at St. Vladimir’s, we’ll be giving 10% of whatever we raise on December 2 to our suffering Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters in Syria, via His Beatitude John X (Yazigi), Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East.

Will you help us get the word out about #GivingTuesday?

Pay it Forward with St. Vladimir’s Seminary’s Appeal

On December 2nd, #GivingTuesday, please consider St. Vladimir’s Seminary’s Appeal: it’s a chance to “quintuple” (that’s 5x!) your donation to the seminary through a matching challenge and aid suffering Orthodox Christians in the Middle East. On #GivingTuesday, St. Vladimir’s will match your gift 5x, and will then donate 10% of your gift to the Patriarch John X of Antioch to distribute at “Ground Zero” in Syria, where more than 100,000 Christians have been martyred and many more displaced. If you give $10, it will become $50 automatically, with $45 going to St. Vladimir’s and $5 going to your brothers and sisters in the Middle East. Go to www.svots.edu to give!
