Giving from Your 401k or IRA Retirement Plan
Leave family the balance of savings and checking accounts, and donate double-taxed assets like IRAs to us.
You've worked hard and planned for retirement. Now, with a little creativity, you can leverage your retirement assets to benefit you and your family, reduce federal taxes, and support the Church far into the future.
How It Works
- Name the Catholic Church as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.
- Pass the balance of your retirement assets to the Church by contacting your plan administrator.
- Important! Tell the Church about your gift. Your plan administrator is not obligated to notify us, so if you don't tell us, we may not know.
Benefits

- Maintain flexibility to change beneficiaries if your family's needs change during your lifetime.
