Planned Giving

Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely

Proper planning can help you and your family realize the greatest benefits from your gifts to a specific Parish or the many ministries throughout the Diocese of Brooklyn. This involves choosing the best combination of assets and vehicles to accomplish your charitable, financial and estate planning objectives. Our knowledgeable and experienced Gift Planning staff is available to assist you and your professional advisors in determining which plan will best meet your needs and objectives. Many of these planned giving options may also qualify you for membership in the Fons Vitae Society.

  • If you're already considering certain giving options, simply click on Compare Gift Options and select the gifts you want to learn more about.
