Featured Partners
Did you know that anyone can add to an existing fund at any time, in any amount – even if you did not start the fund!
Donating to an existing fund is easy, and there are options for everyone:
Cash
Donate any amount online or mail a check with the fund name on the memo line. We also accept wire transfers and ACH payments.
Credit Cards
We accept all major credit cards online and over the phone.
Real Estate and Marketable Securities
Transfer securities to The Catholic Foundation – after liquidation, we will deposit the assets into the fund of your choice.
Insurance Policies
Simply designate The Catholic Foundation as the beneficiary and specify the name of the fund.
Life Estate
Allows you to make a gift of your home to benefit your parish, school or favorite Catholic ministry while retaining the full use and rights to the property during your lifetime. This type of planned gift may reduce the donor’s tax liability by avoiding a capital gain and by generating a current charitable deduction. It also removes the property from your estate, thereby reducing or eliminating any estate taxes.
IRA Rollover
Roll over all or a portion of your IRA’s required minimum distribution. If you are 72 or older, you can make a gift of up to $100,000 to support your beloved parish or ministry. You will not pay taxes on any distributions made to The Catholic Foundation.
Bequest
Designate The Catholic Foundation as a beneficiary in your will and become a member of the Bishop’s Legacy Society
