Ways to partner with the Sisters of the Presentation
in their work and vision:

Bequests and Wills
No matter how small your estate is, creating a current, valid will is the
most important step in careful planning for your loved ones and for those
charitable organizations you wish to support.

No one but you should decide the appropriate distribution of your estate.
Careful planning will ensure your wishes. No planning will mean government
control of your estate. There are 3 ways to give through your will:
percentage, fixed amount or residue.

In preparation of your Last Will and Testament, the support of the
educational and pastoral work of the Sisters of the Presentation will be a
true investment in the future of the Catholic Church.

Gifts of Stocks, Bonds and Tangible Assets:
Friends can contribute securities or property directly to the Sisters of the
Presentation and receive a deduction based on the current market value
on the date of the gift. In this way, you can make a difference on your
capital gain taxes.

Life Insurance Policy:
Perhaps you have a paid-up life insurance policy that could become a gift
to the Sisters of the Presentation and then become an income tax
deduction for its value. This is generally the cash value of the policy.
Or you may wish to make the Sisters of the Presentation the beneficiary
making it possible for you to deduct the premium payments as your gift.

Charitable Gift Annuities:
Friends can contribute cash or appreciated assets in exchange for a
Charitable Gift Annuity. You then can receive significant income while
minimizing taxes and, ultimately, benefit the Sisters of the Presentation
with the gift portion of the annuity.

Charitable Trusts:
A variety of trust instruments exist that can assist a donor in estate
planning while affording the opportunity to make a significant contribution
to the Sisters of the Presentation. Sisters of the Presentation is a
non-profit 501(c)3 organization. As with any planned gift, please check
with your attorney and/or tax advisor before making any decision.

Cash Gifts:
You may make a donation to a specific cause, such as a project you read
about in the Mt. Loretto Bulletin, our quarterly magazine, or in the annual
appeal. All cash contributions may be deducted up to 50% of a donor's
adjusted gross income.

Matching Gifts:
You can double your gift to the Sisters of the Presentation if your employer
has a matching gift program.

• Obtain and fill out the Matching Gift Form from your personnel office
• Send it to the Sisters of the Presentation with your gift, and we will
  complete the form and return it to your employer.
• Your employer will send the Sisters of the Presentation a check that
  matches your gift.

A matched gift helps you to further the mission of the Catholic Church
as well as the Sisters of the Presentation.

Memorials:
You may make a gift in memory of a friend or loved one. A card will be sent
to the family of the deceased stating that a donation has been made in
their memory. The card will also explain the type of work the donation is
supporting.

If you are interested in making a donation to the Sisters of the
Presenation through one of the ways above, please email development@dubuquepresentations.org
