Planned Giving
Through Planned Giving, a type of tax-favored charitable giving that is part of a donor’s financial and estate planning, you can leave a lasting legacy of Catholic stewardship for our parish and schools. These contributions may be made as:
Charitable Bequests in Wills/Trusts
Direct part of your estate to Divine Child in your will or trust, while retaining full use of your property during your life.
Gifts of Life Insurance
Transfer ownership of your policy to Divine Child, or make Divine Child the beneficiary of your policy’s death benefit.
Gifts of Retirement Account Assets
Leave retirement assets to the Divine Child (and leave different assets to family beneficiaries) to reduce taxes imposed on those assets.
Gifts of Marketable Securities
Give outright property gifts to Divine Child in form of individual stocks, bonds or shares of mutual funds.
Gifts with a Retained Income - Life Income Plans
Use a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity to increase your spendable income, reduce taxes and give to Divine Child.
Gifts of Cash
Make a cash donation to the Divine Child at any time, and your donation will be put to work immediately!
