A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends or Catholic Charities as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form.
When you gift Catholic Charities with stocks and mutual funds that have increased in value, you can avoid the capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the stock, and you may receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift.
You must enlist the help of your investment representative or stockbroker when transferring stock or mutual funds to Catholic Charities. He/she will need specific delivery information from our organization in order to complete the transfer. Please have your investment representative or stockbroker contact Wendy Haus (320) 650-1675 to obtain this information.
NOTE: Catholic Charities is not licensed to give you tax or investment advice. Please contact your investment representative, broker, attorney, or tax advisor when making charitable gifts.
Beneficiary Designation Gift
Support what you care about, simplify planning, avoid expensive legal fees, reduce the burden of taxes on your family, and receive an estate tax charitable deduction with a beneficiary designation gift to Catholic Charities.
If you have already designated us as a beneficiary of an asset or as part of your estate plan, please let us know. We would like to recognize you and your family for your gift.
Life Estate Trust
You may desire to leave your home or farm to Catholic Charities at your death but would also like to receive a current charitable income tax deduction. A life estate trust might offer the solution you need.
