Ways to Give to the Catholic Faith Appeal

Giving is a very important part of the life of a person devoted to Jesus Christ. More Catholics are responding to the idea of giving a gift that forever perpetuates our Catholic Faith. There are many ways in which gifts can be made. Examples include: gifts of cash, securities, works of art, life insurance, royalties and other personal property, as well as gifts of real property. A gift can be made outright to your parish, school, diocese, Catholic Charities or other ministry. An endowed gift can be made through the Catholic Community Foundation of Southwest Florida.

BEQUESTS

A bequest is a concrete way to express gratitude to God for a lifetime of blessings. The gift you give also establishes a lasting legacy of love for others by enabling the Church to continue the preservation and expansion of our Catholic heritage through its many ministries.

Simple bequests can easily be included in a donor’s will or trust. If a will or trust is already written, then a codicil to a will, or an amendment to a trust, allows for a new provision to be added easily. The following legal working is sufficient for leaving a gift through a bequest:

I bequeath the sum of $________ or ________% of the residue of my estate to Bishop Frank J. Dewane, D.D., Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Venice, a corporation sole, whose principal office is located at 1000 Pinebrook Road, Venice FL 34285, for the benefit of (your parish, school, diocese, Catholic Charities or other agency or ministry of the diocese).

A bequest can be further directed according to the donors wishes. Gifts restricted for a specific cause must be clearly stated. If you decide to include your parish, the diocese or Catholic Charities in your planning, please let us know. We want to say “thank you” and to thank God for you.
