Planned Giving

 

Below are brief descriptions of common planned gifts:

Stock Donations

To make a donation of stock, use this form and contact Darlene Espinoza at DEspinoza@TheCatholicFoundation.com or call 303-468-9885.

Bequests

Bequests are the easiest form of charitable estate planning and enable you to name Seeds of Hope in your will.

Donor Advised Funds

The donor creates this fund for charitable purposes and receives tax benefits. The donor can then advise the fund about which charitable organizations should receive a grant from the fund.  Donor advised funds are often held by community foundations such as The Catholic Foundation.  Please contact Deacon Steve Stemper at The Catholic Foundation (303-468-9885) for more information.

Gifts of Life Insurance Plans and Retirement Accounts

These can be gifts of old or new life insurance plans or retirement accounts by naming Seeds of Hope as a beneficiary, and help guarantee a future gift to Seeds of Hope.

Life Income Gifts

Life income gifts such as gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts allow you to make a gift of cash or appreciated property to Seeds of Hope.

Real Estate Gifts

You can help us fulfill our mission by a donation of real property, either in full or with a retained life estate.

Securities

Gifts of stock – especially long-term appreciated stocks – provide benefits to Seeds of Hope while also benefiting you. To make a stock gift and transfer, contact your broker and provide them with this form from The Catholic Foundation and note the appropriate contact information thereon and appropriate steps to follow.  If requested, we will always respect a donor’s request for anonymity.

Giving Advisement

The Catholic Foundation is available to advise your Catholic charitable giving.
