Legacy Planning

Legacy planning is financial and estate planning, deciding where your assets go at a later time. It is for most adults, no matter their income or age. If you own property or care for minors, then it is of particular importance. God has entrusted His gifts to you. Good stewardship also involves good estate planning, taking care of the needs of loved ones and the organizations you value.
Legacy giving allows individuals to give from their assets and not just from their income and, in many cases, allows people to make gifts they never dreamed possible in ways they may have never considered. The result? Donors are provided with another means to express the profound love they have for St. Patrick Church. They have been empowered to sustain the faith even after their lifetime. Our legacy planning partner, the Catholic Foundation in the Archdiocese of Dubuque (CFAD), has many resources on legacy giving. You can access them at OurCFAD.org.
An endowment is a fund set aside for the long-term benefit of an organization. The initial and additional funds contributed to the endowment are invested, and a portion of the earnings are distributed for charitable purposes. An endowment fund is typically permanent and will generate income for the designated beneficiary forever. It gives your charitable giving eternal life on earth. Donating to St. Patrick's Church - Anamosa endowment fund is easy. The fund is managed by CFAD, and gifts can be made online at OurCFAD.org/donate (be sure to choose St. Patrick's Church - Anamosa  in the drop-down box). 
You can contact the Foundation with questions at 563-552-0176. Please consider donating to our
endowment fund. Gifts to the endowment fund are tax-deductible and support St. Patrick Church in perpetuity.
