PLANNED GIVING

Monsignor James Patrick Shea quote

When you consider Catholic Charities in your Planned Giving, you are helping increase our capacity to meet the needs of the most vulnerable across Northern Colorado. A planned gift is a simple way to create enduring and lasting impact by supporting neighbors and transforming lives far into the future.

STOCK, IRA & DONOR ADVISED FUND

DONATE STOCK & SECURITIES

Donating appreciated stock and securities has several benefits, including a federal charitable tax deduction and the ability to avoid capital gains taxes upon sale of appreciated stock. Please be sure to check with your financial advisor as stock held for less than one year does not typically qualify. You can wire stock or mail certificates and all donations in this form must be accompanied by a letter detailing designation.

DONATE FROM YOUR IRA

If you are 72 years or older, you may be able to make a tax-free qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA and benefit Catholic Charities at the same time! QCDs reduce taxable income, satisfy your required minimum distribution and maximize your charitable impact. Making an IRA donation is simple.

DONATE FROM YOUR DONOR ADVISED FUND

If you have a donor advised fund and would like to make a recommendation for a gift to Catholic Charities, please reach out to Donor Relations at 720.799.9311, email donorrelations@ccdenver.org or reach out to your Philanthropic Advisor.

Catholic Charities is a 501(c)(3) public charity of the Catholic Church, is a separate entity from the Archdiocese of Denver and receives less than 4% of our annual funding from the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal. Our legal status enables Catholic Charities to safeguard donations to serve those reached by our ministries. Donations to fund our charitable work do not go to any Archdiocese of Denver programs or causes but go directly to people who are served through Catholic Charities services.
