Donors who have a plan in place for their giving often see their relationships with the Church strengthened as they become more involved. Gift planning can help ensure the successful transition of family assets and ongoing contact with the Church across generations. In tangible terms, donors may be able to reduce the amount of taxes they pay and are able to give more for greater impact. Last, there is also peace of mind knowing that a plan has been devised and in place should anything unexpected happen.

Here are some stories of how specific donors in our diocese have set their philanthropic goals and made real, long-lasting impact.
