Q: What is Planned Giving?
A: Planned giving describes a wide variety of giving alternatives which allow donors to give to the Church and the Diocese during their lifetimes and/or after their deaths, while meeting their current income needs and providing for their heirs. Planned giving is a form of charitable giving which involves contributing one’s assets through wills and estate plans. A planned gift is a future gift to support and enhance the pastoral, educational, spiritual and human services ministries throughout the Diocese.

It’s a lot like planting a tree today so someone can enjoy its shade tomorrow.
