Planned Gift Intention Form

Thank you for your generous intention to support an archdiocesan parish, school, or ministry through your estate plans. The Archdiocese’s Catholic Community Foundation (CCF) serves as a central resource to record these estate gift intentions and to assist our parishes, schools, and ministries in processing them when received. Please know that 100% goes to the designated beneficiary – neither the Archdiocese nor CCF takes a fee or percentage.

Sharing the basic details of your future gift helps the Church:

  • Process your gift efficiently when the time comes
  • Ensure your intentions are properly documented and honored
  • Respect any anonymity preferences
  • Express gratitude during your lifetime

Please complete as much of this form as you are comfortable with. Keep in mind that your legal documents will always supersede it. Once submitted, we will notify any named beneficiary of your intention unless you request otherwise. Thank you for your commitment to the future of our Church!
