Support the Church in Northeast Ohio and make a difference with your gift. 
Demonstrate your gratitude to God for all the gifts with which God has blessed you. 
Enrich lives in Northeast Ohio through spiritual, educational, and charitable support. 
We help foster faith-based stewardship in the community for the spiritual, educational and charitable needs of all. Are you ready to strengthen your parish for the future – and help parishioners reflect on how they can use the gifts given to them by God for the benefit of loved ones and the parish? By educating, informing and creating awareness about estate planning and legacy giving, you will be offering parishioners the chance to name the parish as a beneficiary of their will, trust, retirement account or life insurance policy – and express their gratitude to God.
Resources available include:
- A polished legacy giving page for your website
- Customized “Leave a Legacy” brochures and posters
- Regular bulletin announcements
- Consistent social media posts
- Template request letter from your pastor
- Turn-key informational and inspirational events
- Support creating your own Parish Legacy Society
- Examples of motivating parishioner testimonials
- CCF staff support to meet with your parishioners considering a legacy gift
