The legacy of St. Francis of Assisi and the beautiful way in which he modeled his life on Jesus Christ has echoed down through the ages, continuing to inspire countless people today. Similarly, planning for your future and managing your assets in a way that honors your legacy is important. Consider some of the different ways that your legacy can support the important work of the Capuchins among the poor and forgotten far into the future.

Have you considered a Qualified Charitable Distribution?
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts. Give from My IRA.

You can also donate stocks!
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify of your gift.

Have you considered supporting us through a Donor Advised Fund?
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies Capuchin Province of Mid-America your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs. Give from my DAF.

Yes, the Capuchins accept Cryptocurrency as well.
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits. Give Cryptocurrency.
