A memorial gift is usually cash donated for a one, two, five year or perpetual period for a specific cause in honor of a living individual or in memory of someone who is deceased. Will can be a favorable way of giving a lasting legacy for the benefit of a charitable interest. After your loved ones have been provided for, you may decide to give a designated amount, a percentage of an estate, or the entire or portion of what remains after they have been remembered to the Redemptorists. A Living Trust is another way of giving to a charitable interest. More people are now using living trusts to provide for the management and final distribution of their assets.
Charitable gifts can be a profitable addition to such living trusts.
A provision can be made that the income from a living trust be used to fund your gifts each year until you decide these funds are needed for other endeavors. To arrange a gift to the Redemptorists in this way only requires a simple amendment to your living trust. Advice of legal counsel should be sought when considering these types of gifts. Each day , every Redemptorist prays explicitly and especially for all the people in our Extended Redemptorist Family . We love them and honor them and hope some day to celebrate with them in God's eternal home.
