PLANNED GIVING
What is planned giving?
Planned Giving is an expression of interest through a carefully considered gift to Catholic Community Service (CCS) for the program/service of your choice. All gifts are tax deductible according to law and may remain confidential by donor choice.
What are examples of planned gifts?
A planned gift can be a gift made with securities, property, insurance policies or cash. Or it can be a gift that also pays you a lifetime income. Planned gifts can be effective tools in preparing for a future disposal of assets.
Planned Giving is Flexible
Choose to give now or plan to give later. Give in a specific year for tax considerations, when your expenses are much less, when you no longer need the money or property, or when you decide to cash in an appreciated asset.
