Why a Legacy Gift?
Your desire to leave a legacy gift to our Diocese of Phoenix comes from the heart. Perhaps it’s an expression of gratitude for God’s blessings in your life. Maybe you wish to pass on the Catholic values that have shaped you, ensuring they inspire future generations. Or, while giving during your lifetime may not have been possible, you now have the opportunity to make a lasting impact through your estate. No matter your reason, leaving a legacy of faith is both meaningful and simple.
Ways to Make a Legacy Gift
Gifts Through Your Will:
One of the simplest and most heartfelt ways to make a lasting impact is through a gift in your will. With the help of our free online will-writing resource or the guidance of an attorney, you can designate a specific amount, asset, or percentage of your estate to support the Diocese of Phoenix. You may also name the diocese as a remainder or contingent beneficiary of your estate or trust, thereby ensuring your faith continues to make a difference.
Gifts by Beneficiary Designation:
You can designate the Diocese as a partial or full beneficiary of a retirement or life insurance policy; name the Diocese as a Payable on Death (POD) beneficiary of a bank account; and assign the Diocese as a Transfer on Death (TOD) beneficiary of a brokerage account.
