Three-Year Pledge Opportunity: We are asking every parishioner and school family to consider a three-year sacrificial pledge to Building on the Foundation. You may choose monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments to fulfill your pledge. Please take into account the following questions as you prayerfully reflect on your gift: Is what we are planning to give proportionate to what we have received from God in our lives? Is what we are considering a sacrifice or from our excess?

Whether gifts are outright or deferred, the personal satisfaction received from charitable giving is rewarding, and tax advantages may be substantial. Please keep in mind the following gift methods when making your commitment. You may call the parish office with any questions. Thank you.

Securities: This gift vehicle can be particularly beneficial to the donor who may have appreciated securities. You will receive the full value of the securities as the gift value and pay no capital gains tax. Please consult your personal tax advisor regarding the special rules for gifts of appreciated property.

Matching Gifts: Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Please contact the personnel office at your place of employment for specific information to ensure that your gift will be eligible for a match.

Bequests: Remember Mother of Divine Providence in your will. This may provide your estate with a federal and estate tax advantage.
