There are many types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of our families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings while benefiting many charitable causes both Catholic and secular. You might start by meeting these friends.

The Retirement Unitrust
Mary Friendly grew up on a farm. When her parents passed away, she inherited the farm. When Mary was growing up, the farm was out in the country. The city now has grown until the farm is now within the city limits. Several developers would like to build homes on the farmland. More on The Retirement Unitrust >>.


Part Gift and Part Sale
Sue and Jim Wilson bought their first home many years ago. As they were landscaping in the yard, painting and fixing up that home, Jim was impressed with the home improvement store. More on Part Gift and Part Sale >>.
