Leave a lasting legacy to St. Joseph parish.

RETIREMENT ASSETS

Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred plan is an excellent way to make a gift to St. Joseph parish.

A gift of your insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to charity. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy.

Receive a charitable income tax deduction
If the parish cashes in the policy, you will be able to see firsthand how your gift supports our institution
If we retain the policy to maturity, or you name us as a beneficiary, once the policy matures, the proceeds of your policy will be paid to to the parish as you direct.

HOW TO GIVE

You designate St. Joseph Church and/or School as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust, or beneficiary designation form. 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 St. Joseph Church and/or School as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form.
