Planned Giving

You can make a difference! You can help us to return even more priests to the altar with a major, planned gift.

Here are the ways you can support the patient care programs of Guest House through planned giving.   Please review these options with your attorney and/or trust officer. 

Bequests - Many donors provide for our needs through their wills. Sometimes the gift is the portion that remains after all family members have been provided for, and all estate costs have been paid. Other times Guest House shares equally, or receives a percentage of the estate value.

Charitable Remainder Trust - This planned giving vehicle provides many benefits to the donor, including an income from investment earnings, an immediate tax deduction, and estate tax deductions at death.

Life Insurance - A paid up life insurance policy may be given to Guest House as a donation, often providing you with a significant tax deduction. Guest House may also be named as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.

The Guest House Endowment Fund - Your gift to the Endowment Fund gives us the right to use only the interest income which is earned after the gift is deposited. In this way your gift lasts for all time, continuing to provide Guest House with income toward patient care. A minimum $5,000 gift or pledge is required.

*All gifts to Guest House are tax deductible as allowed by law.
