A Legacy Gift is a contribution made to an organization as part of financial or estate planning. Thoughtfully planned, a Legacy Gift reflects your core values and commitment to stewardship. Through The Catholic Foundation, Legacy Gift Planning allows you to support your favorite Catholic cause(s) and create a lasting legacy of faith for generations to come. These gifts are typically arranged to be received in the future or upon your passing. Legacy Gift Planning is simple and offers many benefits, such as tax advantages, securing income sources, and peace of mind knowing you've provided for the people and causes you cherish most.
The Catholic Foundation provides a unique opportunity for donors to align their charitable giving with their Catholic values and beliefs. Donors experience the fulfillment of knowing their gift directly supports the Catholic organizations and causes that matter most to them.
