Meet Our Donors

On behalf of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Inc., we would like to thank all of our current planned giving donors for their generosity and support. Here are some of their stories.

	A contribution to Catholic Charities is an investment in the future. We chose to establish a charitable remainder trust with Catholic Charities because it will provide us with an income for the rest of our lives and provided good tax advantages at the time it was established. The remainder will then be applied to our designated purposes at Catholic Charities.
	This year we felt it was an occasion to express gratitude for the excellent vision and mission of Catholic Charities. The opportunity for Val and me to receive an income for life enabled us to make a meaningful gift. We chose a Deferred Gift Annuity that begins payments to us in a few years. Deferring our income gave us a higher annuity rate and a larger charitable deduction. We also have the option of extending the time when payments begin and receiving an even higher rate. The gift-planning options of Catholic Charities are plentiful, enough to meet almost every need. We recommend exploring the choices available to you.
