You can decide how your gift will be used
You may indicate if you would like us to use your gift to support a specific program or service we offer, or if you would like your gift to be applied to a particular local office. Unrestricted gifts will be used where they are most needed in your local area.
You may wish to name Catholic Charities as a beneficiary or as a secondary beneficiary of an insurance policy or qualified retirement plan. Property is distributed to a secondary beneficiary only if you outlive all of your named beneficiaries.
Additional planned giving options exist under current tax laws that may have immediate tax benefits for you, your family, and your estate. Some of these options continue to provide you with income during your lifetime while offering significant tax benefits. Your attorney can provide the most accurate advice on estate planning for your personal situation and charitable intentions.
