Donate To Our Endowment Fund
Give to the All Saints Endowment
An endowment gift is a powerful way to provide lasting support for All Saints Catholic Schools. Through the Catholic Community Foundation of Mid-Michigan, you can make a gift that helps strengthen the future of Catholic education and provides ongoing support for generations of All Saints students.
Unlike a one-time gift, an endowment is designed to preserve the original contribution while using a portion of the investment earnings to support the school over time. Your gift can help provide long-term financial stability and support priorities such as student scholarships, academic programs, teacher support, and other needs that strengthen the All Saints experience.
Whether you make a one-time contribution, establish an endowment in honor or memory of someone special, or include an endowment gift in your estate plans, you can help create a legacy that continues to give year after year.
Invest in the Future
Your endowment gift is more than a donation—it is an investment in the future of All Saints Catholic Schools and the students we serve.

IRA Charitable Gifts
IRA Charitable Gifts
If you are age 70½ or older, you may be able to make a charitable gift directly from your IRA to All Saints Catholic Schools through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
A QCD allows eligible IRA owners to transfer funds directly to a qualified charitable organization. These gifts can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) and may provide tax benefits because the amount donated may be excluded from taxable income, subject to current IRS rules.
An IRA charitable gift is a meaningful way to support the future of Catholic education while making a difference for All Saints students.
Because tax laws and individual circumstances vary, please consult your financial or tax advisor to determine whether an IRA charitable gift is right for you.
Your IRA can do more than provide for your future—it can help provide a future for All Saints students.

Donor Advised Fund
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account that allows individuals, families, or organizations to set aside assets for charitable giving. DAFs are established and managed through sponsoring charitable organizations, such as community foundations or financial institutions with charitable programs.
Once your DAF is established, you can recommend grants to qualified nonprofit organizations, including All Saints Catholic Schools. This can provide a convenient and flexible way to support Catholic education while allowing you to plan and manage your charitable giving over time.
If you already have a Donor-Advised Fund, consider recommending a grant to All Saints. Your DAF gift can help provide students with an excellent Catholic education and support the mission of our school for years to come.

A charitable bequest to All Saints Catholic Schools is a meaningful way to extend your commitment to Catholic education beyond your lifetime. By including All Saints in your estate plans, you can create a lasting legacy that reflects your faith, values, and belief in the importance of providing students with an excellent Catholic education.
A bequest may be one of the final acts of stewardship you make, helping ensure that the mission of All Saints continues to flourish and that future generations of students have the opportunity to grow in faith, knowledge, character, and service.
Your Bequest
Including All Saints Catholic Schools in your estate plans can be a simple process. Because every person’s circumstances are unique, we strongly encourage you to consult with your attorney or financial advisor to ensure your wishes are clearly and properly documented.
Unrestricted Bequest
An unrestricted bequest allows All Saints Catholic Schools to use your gift where it is needed most at the time it is received. This flexibility allows your generosity to support the school’s most important priorities and emerging needs, helping strengthen the future of Catholic education for generations to come.
Sample Language:
“I [name], of [city, state, ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to All Saints Catholic Schools, Bay City, Michigan, [the sum of $_____] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”
Please consult your legal advisor when preparing or updating your estate plans to ensure the language appropriately reflects your intentions.

Charitable Gift Annuities
If you are looking for a way to provide yourself or a loved one with a reliable source of income while also making a meaningful gift to All Saints Catholic Schools, a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) may be an option to consider.
A charitable gift annuity allows you to make an irrevocable gift of cash, securities, or other eligible assets to All Saints while receiving fixed income payments for life. The amount of the payments is generally based on the amount of the gift and the age of the individual or individuals receiving the income.
After the lifetime of the annuitant(s), the remaining charitable assets support All Saints Catholic Schools and the Catholic education mission you have chosen to advance.
How a Charitable Gift Annuity Works
A CGA is a contractual agreement between a donor and a charitable organization. You transfer eligible assets to All Saints in exchange for fixed payments for life. Depending on your circumstances, a charitable gift annuity may also provide potential tax benefits.
Because charitable gift annuities involve financial, tax, and estate-planning considerations, we encourage you to consult with your financial advisor, tax professional, and legal advisor before making a gift.
Determining the Annuity Rate
Charitable gift annuity rates are influenced by factors including the age of the annuitant(s) and current recommendations from the American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA). Rates may change over time, so it is important to obtain current information and consider your individual financial circumstances before establishing a charitable gift annuity.
A Charitable Gift Annuity May Provide:
- A meaningful gift to All Saints Catholic Schools and the future of Catholic education
- Fixed, regular income payments for life
- Potential tax benefits, depending on your circumstances
- The opportunity to use appreciated assets to make a charitable gift
- A lasting legacy that can benefit generations of All Saints students
- The satisfaction of supporting a mission you value while receiving income during your lifetime
A charitable gift annuity can be a powerful way to combine financial planning with faithful stewardship, helping provide a strong foundation for Catholic education at All Saints for years to come.
Your retirement savings can be a meaningful way to support the future of All Saints Catholic Schools. Assets such as an IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred retirement plan may provide an opportunity to make a lasting charitable gift while potentially offering tax advantages.
One simple option is to name All Saints Catholic Schools as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your retirement account. This allows you to support Catholic education and the students of All Saints without affecting the assets you rely on during your lifetime.
Consider a Qualified Charitable Distribution
If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from an IRA to All Saints Catholic Schools. A QCD can allow eligible individuals to direct a portion of their required IRA distribution to charity while potentially excluding the donated amount from taxable income.
Annual QCD limits are set by federal law and may change over time. Please consult your financial advisor or tax professional to determine whether a QCD is right for you and to ensure your gift meets current IRS requirements.
A gift from your retirement assets can help provide a strong future for All Saints students and ensure that Catholic education continues to make a difference for generations to come.
Give the Gift of Life Insurance
A life insurance policy can be a meaningful and affordable way to create a lasting legacy at All Saints Catholic Schools. By naming All Saints as a beneficiary of your policy, you can provide future support for Catholic education and help ensure that generations of students have the opportunity to learn, grow in faith, and thrive.
Whether you have an existing policy you no longer need or choose to purchase a policy specifically as a charitable gift, life insurance can offer a unique opportunity to make a significant future gift.
Benefits of Giving Life Insurance
Depending on how your gift is structured, donating life insurance may offer several benefits:
- Create a significant future gift to support All Saints Catholic Schools.
- Make a gift that may be greater than the premiums you have paid over the life of the policy.
- Designate how your gift will support All Saints, such as scholarships, student programs, academic initiatives, or other areas of greatest need.
- Potentially receive tax benefits, depending on the ownership and structure of your gift.
- Avoid probate, allowing the proceeds to be transferred directly to All Saints according to your beneficiary designation.
- Create a lasting legacy that continues to support Catholic education after your lifetime.
Purchasing a Life Insurance Policy as a Gift
Some donors choose to purchase a life insurance policy specifically to make a charitable gift. This strategy may allow you to create a substantial future gift through relatively modest premium payments, depending on factors such as your age and insurability.
If you are considering purchasing a policy for charitable purposes, speak with your insurance professional and tax advisor to determine whether this strategy is appropriate for your circumstances.
Naming All Saints as a Beneficiary
Another simple way to use life insurance as a charitable gift is to name All Saints Catholic Schools as a beneficiary of an existing policy.
You may retain ownership and control of the policy during your lifetime while designating All Saints to receive all or a portion of the proceeds upon your passing. This approach allows you to maintain flexibility while creating a meaningful future gift.
You may designate All Saints as:
- Primary beneficiary – All Saints receives the designated proceeds upon your death.
- Contingent beneficiary – All Saints receives the proceeds if another named primary beneficiary is unable to receive them.
- Partial or residual beneficiary – All Saints receives a specified portion or percentage of the policy proceeds along with other beneficiaries.
If you would like to name All Saints Catholic Schools as a beneficiary of an existing policy, contact your insurance company or agent to request a beneficiary designation or change-of-beneficiary form.
Because the tax treatment of life insurance gifts varies depending on how the gift is structured, we encourage you to consult your financial, tax, and legal advisors before making a gift.
Your life insurance policy can become a lasting investment in the future of All Saints Catholic Schools and the students we serve.
