Four Ways You Can Help Provide Peace in the Midst of Change

1.  Charitable Gift Annuity

In exchange for a gift of cash, stock or securities, The Passionists will pay you and your survivor, or another person, you designate, a guaranteed income (based on your age) for life.

2.  A Bequest

A bequest can be added during a wills creation or added later by means of a codicil.  Below is wording you can use when writing a charitable bequest to The Passionists:

For a specific amount:

“I give and bequeath $ _______to, The Congregation of the Passion, Holy Cross Province, a nonprofit corporation located in Park Ridge, IL.”

For a percentage gift:

“I give and bequeath ________% of all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to The Congregation of the Passion, Holy Cross Province, a nonprofit corporation located in Park Ridge, IL.”

3.  Retirement Account

You can designate the Passionists as a beneficiary of your retirement account.  With this option, The Passionists – not you – will be treated as receiving the distribution; therefore, neither you nor your estate will owe income taxes on the amount.  While the amount will be included in your taxable estate, your estate will receive a deduction for the amount inherited by The Passionists, resulting in an offset of the estate taxes.

4.  Gifts of Appreciated Assets

A gift of an appreciated asset, often common stock or mutual fund shares, is a valuable way to contribute to The Passionists and receive tax benefits based on the value of the asset(s).
