Planned Giving
Planned gifts are a commitment to future generations of Bishop Machebeuf High School students. Bequests, gift annuities, life insurance and retirement plan proceeds, and various forms of trust are examples of planned gifts. There is no better way to leave a legacy than through a planned gift. Please let our Advancement Office know if you have designated Bishop Machebeuf High School in your planned giving so that we may thank you for your abundant generosity.
Your support is of great value to us because it enables us to continue our efforts to provide the very best in Catholic education. We want it to be rewarding for you as well. That’s why we have made it easy to learn about the financial tools you can use to wisely plan your gift to us so that it can return benefits to you.
For instance, did you know that you can...
• Make a gift using appreciated securities and realize larger tax savings than if you had used cash?
• Make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime?
• Make a gift that pays you income for life?
• Preserve your estate for your children and deliver years of income to us?
• Donate your house, take a tax deduction, and continue to live in it rent-free?
• Turn surplus life insurance coverage into a gift?
We have partnered with The Catholic Foundation for gifts to the Bishop Machebeuf High School Endowment Fund. Depending on the gift arrangement and your own circumstances, you could increase your income, decrease your estate taxes, provide cash to help you meet an immediate need, or receive a tax deduction for items that you can no longer use or want to maintain. A planned gift could also provide benefits to your family and loved ones. Please contact us to see how a planned gift through The Catholic Foundation can work for us and for you.
