Your Generosity Can Change the World
Learn More
We invite you to join us in our worldwide mission. In doing so, your generosity can change the world and establish a Legacy of Hope that will ensure the future longevity of the Franciscan order and our service to the poor and marginalized people across the globe. For over 800 years the Franciscans have served both as guardians of the Holy Land and ministering to the poor as missionaries.
By designating the Franciscan Missions in your will or as a beneficiary of various assets, you will share in our lives of witness to the Gospel and service to the poor. Your planned gift will ensure the religious and charitable activities of the Franciscan order for years to come.
Consider including the Franciscan Missions in your will, trust, or other estate planning documents. Your gift can make an impact now or become part of your personal legacy of hope.
Please contact us to discuss the best gift option for you. We pledge to honor your generosity and always strive to use your gift wisely and in the way that you intend.
Wills and Bequests
A bequest is a gift provision in your will or revocable living trust. All assets, including cash, securities, and tangible personal property, may be transferred to the Franciscan Missions at the
end of your life.
Living Trusts
A living trust is a special kind of trust (a legal entity) that you create during your lifetime to hold your property, money, or other assets for your own benefit.
IRAs
Did you know that your IRA offers you a great opportunity to help support the Franciscan Missions while also enjoying some tax benefits? By making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA you can support our work with the poor and enjoy a tax advantage by doing so.
Beneficiary Designation
Most financial accounts – bank or stock brokerage accounts, IRAs or other types of retirement plans, or life insurance policies – allow you to designate who will receive whatever remains upon your passing. Often the beneficiary designation is a simple matter of signing a form provided by the financial institution.
