Gift and Bequest
A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It is an impactful way to support your favorite charity today and make a lasting future impression.
Benefits of a gift and bequest
- Receive a charitable income tax deduction for your gift made to The Catholic Foundation this year.
- Continue to use and control your assets during your lifetime.
- Leave a legacy through a bequest to The Catholic Foundation.
How a gift and bequest works
The Catholic Foundation helps turn donors' gifts into real-world impact. You can establish a fund that directs your charitable giving to a particular cause or make a gift to an existing fund. A charitable bequest is a way to make your giving go further. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust indicating a gift to be made to The Catholic Foundation as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest by designating The Catholic Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.
