Other Ways for Individuals to Give

Our parish, together with the Catholic Community Foundation, offers an extensive array of methods of giving to meet its donors’ charitable and financial needs. These methods of giving are financially beneficial to both the donor and the church. Some of the most commonly used giving options are:

bulletOutright Gift - A gift of cash, appreciated real property, personal property, stock or securities.  The benefit to an individual is income tax deductions and the avoidance of capital gains tax on appreciated gifts.
bulletBequests - Gifts through a living will or trust may be in cash or other property for a specified amount, a percentage of the estate or a remainder of the estate after other bequests and obligations are satisfied.  There are possible estate tax deductions and an opportunity to make a perpetual gift.
bulletCharitable Gift Annuity - One of the more popular methods of giving and attractive for seniors who wish to increase their income and provide a gift of charity.  This program provides the donor with guaranteed fixed income for life, based on the value of the gift, an income tax deduction and a reduction of estate taxes.
bulletCharitable Trusts - A Charitable Remainder Trust, Charitable Annuity Trust and or a Unitrust provide the donor with income based on the value of the property given.  These methods offer worthwhile income and estate tax benefits.
bulletInsurance - A gift can be make by naming the parish as the owner or beneficiary of a Life Insurance Policy.  Proceeds of the policy are tax exempt.  In addition, some present values and future premiums will also qualify for charitable deductions.  It is an opportunity to make a substantial future gift to the Church at current manageable cost.
bulletRetirement Plan/IRA - Naming the parish as beneficiary of death benefit gives an opportunity to make a gift and receive estate and income tax savings.  Distributions from qualified retirement plans can retain their tax-deferred status.
bulletDonor Advised Fund - A donor may establish a fund to provide for a variety of favorite charities or types of charitable works.  Any person or corporation may create a Donor-Advised Fund by contributing either current gifts and/or future gifts through wills, trusts and bequests.  Deposits to the fund are tax deductible.
