Make a bequest through the Foundation and help almost any Church ministry or other charitable organization. We’ll manage endowment funds that benefit one or more organizations or charitable purposes for the long-term and make sure that your gift is used the way you intended.
Setting up a bequest is straightforward. Tell your attorney to add a statement in your Will that you would like to give a certain amount, percentage, specific asset, or whatever is left over to the Catholic Foundation of Maine. A written indication from you regarding which specific fund or purpose you would like to support completes the process. We’ll send a written acknowledgment back to you for your records. Drawing up your will is fairly easy and inexpensive and will allow you to provide for your loved ones the way you want, rather than have the courts determine who gets what.
Tell us about your charitable estate plans and allow us to make sure that your wishes are carried out precisely."
Multiply the value of your charitable gift by becoming a member of our legacy society and giving others an example to follow. (You always have the option of changing your estate plans, and we will NEVER treat your estate plan as a guarantee of a gift.)
Tell us about your plans and help your designated charity plan effectively; other donors and creditors often base their own decisions on knowing if a charitable organization is getting support from people like you. Contact us for sample bequest/trust language.
