Gifts that support our cause and save you taxes
IRA Charitable Rollover
Congress has enacted a permanent IRA charitable rollover. As a result you can make an IRA rollover gift this year and in future years.
Charitable Lead Trust
You fund a trust that makes gifts to the Catholic Foundation of Northwest Pennsylvania for a number of years. Your family receives the trust remainder at substantial tax savings.
Bargain Sale
We purchase your property for less than fair market value. You receive cash and a charitable deduction for the difference between the market value and purchase price.
Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
You fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization and make charitable gift recommendations during your lifetime. When you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
Blended Gift
There are many combination gift options that can make your giving go farther than a simple gift of cash or property.
Endowment Gift
An endowment is a fund you can create now or in the future to achieve the impact you desire.
