Parish Legacy Giving

The Catholic Community Foundation can help parishes establish and grow a Parish Legacy Giving program to encourage estate gifts from parishioners. Whether a parish decides to implement a few essential steps or invites greater participation with an expanded effort, the Foundation can provide guidance, support and resources, including:

Components

• Advising pastor and key staff on appropriate parish marketing plan
• Providing template marketing materials used successfully at other parishes
• Creating parish-specific brochures such as “Legacy Giving Options” and “How to Create or Update Your Will”
• Providing content to create a parish legacy giving webpage
• Offering Foundation staff as a resource to meet with parishioners considering estate gift to parish
• Presenting charitable gift or estate planning seminars.

Benefits

• Helps pastor and parish leadership understand the importance of developing and continuing a legacy giving program
• Provides an opportunity for parishioners to express their spirituality, values and pass on the faith for future generations
• Creates greater partnership with parishioners
• Contributes to the future financial needs of the Church
