Methods of Giving

• Outright Gift – Perpetual income, interest income used by parishes, schools and the diocese. This provides you with income tax deductions and no capital gains tax on appreciated gifts.

• Bequest by Will – Bequest will be held in perpetuity and invested to fund church needs. This can provide you with a possible estate tax deduction and an opportunity to make a perpetual gift.

• Charitable Gift Annuities – Upon the death of the donor or last surviving annuitant, remaining assets generate interest income for the church. This provides you with a guaranteed fixed income for life, a portion of income tax-free, an income tax deduction and possible reduction of estate taxes.

• Insurance Policies – By naming the Catholic Foundation as owner and beneficiary, the foundation receives full face value of the policy upon death of the donor, or may receive current surrender value prior to the donor’s death.
