Giving
Ways to Give
Planned Giving
By sharing meaningful donations with GRACE that benefit students today or by leaving lasting gifts for generations to come, your generosity creates a legacy for Catholic education.
Wills, Trusts, or Bequests
Designate a gift for GRACE, whether a set
dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the residual amount in your Will or Trust.
Beneficiary Designation
It is very simple to name GRACE as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, annuity, IRA and retirement plans, CD, bank accounts or donor advised fund.
Securities and Stocks
GRACE accepts gifts of stocks or securities. The current market value determines the value of your gift. Please contact us for information to process the transfer.
IRA Charitable Rollover or RMD
Consult your financial advisor to discuss using your IRA to support GRACE, see the difference your donation is making today, and get tax savings.
Cash
Through checks and electronic transfers, gifts of cash, outside of an IRA, have no limit. Gifts can be made to GRACE online, by mail or by phone.
Memorial and Tribute Gifts
Donations can be made to GRACE instead of receiving gifts, flowers, or memorials. Honor a loved one or celebrate a special occasion by establishing a memorial or tribute gift.
Endowed Giving
When you make a donation to an endowment, your gift can last forever. Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to support the immediate needs at GRACE. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
