Welcome to the Capuchin Franciscan Friars
Office of Planned Giving

Welcome to our Planned Giving website.  If given a chance, most of us would like to leave a lasting legacy -to make a difference in society and to benefit the lives of others.

In the past, leaving such a legacy was generally the domain of a privileged few.  Now, many giving options allow almost anyone to make a significant charitable gift.  In doing so, you'll not only leave a legacy for the future, but you can also enjoy tax advantages and other benefits today. Your gift will allow us to further our mission to serve the poor and spread the Gospel of Christ for generations to come.  Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning.

Major IRA Gift
Tom is a retired CPA. With good investments, his IRA had grown to become over 80% of his total estate. Tom was looking for a way to rebalance his estate. He wanted to make a major gift to charity, but needed to protect his home and personal savings. More on Major IRA Gift >>.
