Legacy Donations
Planned giving offers meaningful ways to support the Marianist Retreat & Conference Center while also meeting your own financial goals. One option is a charitable remainder trust, which allows you to designate a portion of your assets to MRCC while receiving income during your lifetime. This type of gift can provide you with financial stability today while ensuring that your legacy continues to strengthen our mission in the future.
We invite you to consider including MRCC in your estate plans. A few common ways to make a legacy gift include:
Bequests of Retirement Assets
Retirement accounts—such as IRAs—can be excellent charitable bequests. When passed to family, these assets may be reduced by estate and income taxes. However, by naming MRCC as the beneficiary (using your provider’s beneficiary form), the full value of your gift passes tax-free upon your death, and your estate receives a charitable deduction.
Discussing your intentions with your family can help ensure clarity and allow you to share the values behind your giving. These conversations also model the importance of generosity and service, inspiring future generations to carry on the mission you hold dear.
Other Deferred Giving Options
-
Naming MRCC as a beneficiary of your life insurance
-
Donating appreciated securities, which may reduce capital gains tax
-
Making a charitable bequest of a specific amount or a percentage of your estate
Please consult with a lawyer or financial advisor before making any planned giving decisions.
Every gift—large or small—helps us continue our ministry. Because of donors like you, countless individuals have experienced healing, renewal, and deeper faith through our programs. Their stories remind us of the profound impact generosity can have on a single life, and on our entire community.
We invite you to join us in this mission. Through your financial support, volunteer service, or planned giving, you help ensure that MRCC remains a place of compassion, reflection, and spiritual growth for years to come. Thank you for considering a legacy gift and for being a cherished part of our community.
