Planned Gifts
We encourage you to consider leaving a lasting legacy to the Passionists through one of the following:
- Bequest – A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust and is the most common form of a planned gift.
- Charitable Gift Annuity – A charitable gift annuity is a gift to the Passionists and provides a lifetime stream of annual income to you.
How It Works
-
- You irrevocably donate $10,000 or more in cash or appreciated securities to the Passionists.
- You and/or your beneficiary receive fixed payments for life.
- You can begin receiving payments immediately if you are 65 or older. The minimum age of an annuitant for a deferred payment annuity is 60 years of age, with annuity payments to begin after the annuitant’s 65th birthday.
- You are eligible for an immediate tax deduction. If you donate appreciated assets, you may save on capital gains taxes as well.
- The principal passes to the Passionists after the lifetime of the income beneficiaries.
- Beneficiary Designations – Consider naming the Passionists as a beneficiary of your retirement plan (IRA, 401k), a life insurance policy, or your Donor Advised Fund. Beneficiary designations are a simple and powerful way to support our lifesaving work without changing your will or living trust. These planned gifts pass directly to the Passionists without going through the probate process and go right to work supporting our ministries.
