Legacy gifts provide the foundation for St. Anthony Shrine’s work. These gifts allow you to take care of your family, provide for gifts to loved ones, and include a charitable gift for St. Anthony Shrine. We can help you find the best way to make your gift, and perhaps help you to make a larger gift than you thought possible.

In addition to supporting the mission of  St. Anthony Shrine, your planned gift can provide substantial tax and financial advantages, including:

  • an income tax deduction
  • reduced capital gains taxes
  • reduced probate costs and estate taxes
  • retained income for life

Congress has provided a several incentives to encourage your contributions. By taking advantage of these opportunities, you and your advisor can craft a contribution that fits your needs, while you support St. Anthony Shrine. A well planned gift makes it possible for you, your loved ones, and  St. Anthony Shrine to all benefit.

We want to be sure that we can fulfill your wishes. If you have any questions, please contact:

Estate Planning Overview

Estate planning can entail difficult choices, but once your plan is in place, it provides a sense of relief and peace of mind. You’ll know that you have done your best to plan and provide for yourself and for loved ones, as well as for the causes you’ve cared about during your lifetime.
retirement planning

Retirement Planning Tips

It’s really never too early—or too late—to do retirement planning. With this in mind, St. Anthony Shrine offers the following list of basic points to consider.
Gifts by WIll or Trust

Gifts by Will or Trust

A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals, maintain control of your assets, and benefit St. Anthony Shrine.

Naming Us as a Beneficiary of Your Assets

While you may transfer many of your assets through your will or living trust, a document called a beneficiary designation controls distribution of your retirement plans, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and a variety of financial accounts.

The IRA Gift (QCD)

The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to St. Anthony Shrine.

Donor-Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come. Might a donor-advised fund be right for you? Here’s how it works.
stocks

Stocks & Bonds

Giving appreciated stock that you have owned for more than one year is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting St. Anthony Shrine.
retirement assets

Retirement Assets

A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding St. Anthony Shrine's future.
life insurance

Life Insurance

Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. You can make a gift of a life insurance policy without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
real estate

Real Estate

A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages, and make a significant charitable gift to St. Anthony Shrine.
personal property

Personal Property

A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support St. Anthony Shrine.

Other Ways to Leave a Legacy

Make a substantial gift to St. Anthony Shrine in the form of additional planned giving options.
