Create Your Catholic Legacy

Each May, we invite you to participate in Create Your Catholic Legacy (CYCL) Awareness Month. Consider how your legacy could help sustain Catholic causes close to your heart — and transform the lives of future generations. Throughout the month, you'll have many chances to learn about the impact of bequests and other estate gifts with our free gift-planning resources. Whether you're just beginning to explore the idea or have already taken steps to include a Catholic organization, program, or ministry in your plans, this is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.

Planned Giving

Planned Giving is a powerful way to fulfill your charitable intentions with gifts from your estate plans. From bequests to beneficiary designations and beyond, our team is here to guide you through charitable estate planning options that will help you create a lasting legacy.
