Giving a bequest through your will or trust offers a way to support Ascension Saint Agnes without impacting your discretionary spending.
Life income gifts allow you to make a gift and receive income back for life or a term of years for you or a member of your family.
Beneficiary designations of your retirement account or insurance policy are easy to implement and can be completed through a change of beneficiary form.
Other creative gift plans provide opportunities to transfer ownership of real estate, personal property, or another asset to allocate a planned gift to Ascension Saint Agnes.
