Planned Giving is the donor-centered process of planning charitable gifts, whether current or future, that meets philanthropic goals and balances personal, family, and tax considerations. It is not a specific campaign but an ongoing method of providing funds with emphasis on building long-term relationships,
using specific gift-giving options.
By supporting our Planned Giving Program, you can creatively ensure that the many and varied responsibilities and works of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Victoria continue to grow; and that we are better able to respond to current needs and plan for the future of our children and generations to come.
What options are available?
Bequests
A bequest to the Diocese or a parish is the donation of a specific asset, or part or all of one’s estate. This kind of donation would be provided for in your Will.
Gift in Kind
An option which has benefited several of our parishes throughout the history of the Diocese is the Gift in Kind. Many of our churches were built on donated land.
Charitable Gift Annuity
In uncertain economic times, you might be looking for a lifetime income while paying the least amount of tax possible.
Life Insurance
An option which has benefited several of our parishes throughout the history of the Diocese is the Gift in Kind. Many of our churches were built on donated land.
