Legacy of Hope Society
The question isn’t if we as individuals will leave a legacy. The question is what sort of legacy will we leave.
We’re pleased to announce the creation of Catholic Charities Legacy of Hope Society, a circle of visionaries dedicated to ensuring the enduring success of meeting need and creating solutions. Members of this group choose to include Catholic Charities in their will or name Catholic Charities as a beneficiary of a planned giving asset, a decision that transcends their lives, impacting generations not yet born.
We invite you to consider the profound impact you can make. Your decision to include us in your will is not simply transactional; it is a promise to be a continuing force for good in a world that so badly needs it.
For more information on planned giving or if you are interested in joining the Legacy of Hope Society, please call Angie Zambito Hill at 304-281-0118.
The Legacy of Hope Society was established to recognize those who have included Catholic Charities in their gift planning. Gifts made by individuals through wills and other estate planning methods play a most significant role in ensuring a bright future for Catholic Charities and our clients.
Benefits of the Legacy of Hope Society include, a hard copy of the Catholic Charities’ Annual Report, invitations to special donor recognition and stewardship events, special communications from our team and more.

Ways to Give

Charitable Bequest
A charitable bequest is one of the easiest ways you can leave a lasting impact on our organization. By including a bequest to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh in your will or living trust, you will make a profound difference in the lives of our communities’ most vulnerable individuals and their families for years to come.
This flexible gift option can be revised at any time, and can be made as a specific amount or a percentage of your estate. In addition, your gift entitles your estate to an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction.
Charitable Gift Annuity
This type of gift offers you a tax deduction and a partially tax-free fixed income for life. The dollar amount you will receive is determined by your age and the age of any other beneficiary you name at the time of the gift. Or, to defer payments for a certain number of years, consider a Deferred Payment Gift Annuity.
Charitable Remainder Trust
With a charitable remainder trust, you can receive income each year (either fixed or variable) from assets you place in the trust. After your lifetime, the balance in the trust goes to the charities of your choice.
Charitable Trust Donation
This type of gift offers you a tax deduction and a partially tax-free fixed income for life.

Life Insurance Policy
Naming Catholic Charities as a beneficiary to your current paid life insurance policy or purchasing a new policy will give you a charitable income tax deduction.
