A Gift That Gives Back for Life

Give to the Church. Receive Income for Life.

A Catholic Gift Annuity can provide fixed payments for life while creating lasting support for the Catholic ministry you care about.

What Could This Gift Do for You?

A Catholic Gift Annuity can be a meaningful option if you want your generosity to support the Church while also providing a benefit for you or someone you love.

Income for life

Receive fixed payments for life for yourself, your spouse, or another person you designate.

Potential tax benefits

You may receive a charitable income tax deduction for a portion of your gift, as allowed by IRS rules.

You Choose

Choose a Catholic parish, school, seminarian education program, or other diocesan ministry to receive the remaining funds after the lifetime of the person or persons receiving payments.

Leave a lasting impact

Your generosity can continue supporting the Catholic Church and the ministry you care about for years to come.

How Does a It Work?

The Western South Dakota Catholic Foundation partners with Catholic Extension Society to offer this giving opportunity. Catholic Extension Society administers the annuity and distributes the payments. A Catholic Gift Annuity is a simple agreement:

1. Give

Make a gift of $5,000 or more to establish a Catholic Gift Annuity.

2. Receive

You, your spouse, or another person you designate receives fixed payments for life.

3. Give Forward

After the lifetime of the person or persons receiving payments, the remaining funds support the Catholic ministry you choose.

Is This Something to Consider?

Every person’s circumstances are different.
We encourage you to talk with your financial or tax advisor to determine whether a Catholic Gift Annuity is right for you.

A Catholic Gift Annuity may be worth exploring if you are 55 or older and are looking for a way to:

Turn a portion of your assets into income for life

Make a meaningful gift to the Church

Support a Catholic ministry that matters to you

Create a lasting legacy of generosity
