THE CATHOLIC FRONTIER SOCIETY The Catholic Frontier Society is our way of honoring the Christian generosity of Catholic friends and benefactors who are providing for the future expansion of the Church in West Texas. Membership in the Catholic Frontier Society is open to anyone who agrees to make a planned gift to the Diocese of Lubbock or any of its parishes, schools, agencies or organizations. We invite you to please consider the following planned gifts: A Bequest In Your Will This is perhaps the simplest way to give. You can name the Foundation to receive a gift of cash or other property from your estate. You can stipulate that the Foundation receive a specified amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all the other bequests are fulfilled. Gifts of Cash, Securities, Real Estate or other Tangible Assets These are also ideal ways of giving to the Foundation, particularly when the donated assets are highly appreciated. Gifts of Life Insurance This allows you to make a gift that might be larger than if you were to give an asset outright. You can give the Foundation a paid up policy that you already own, or you can purchase a policy to donate. Life Income Arrangements This allows you to make gifts to the Foundation during your lifetime while retaining and even increasing your income from those assets for the remainder of your life. These include trusts, annuities and a pooled income fund.* These and other opportunities for giving to the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Lubbock can be explored with you. The Foundation staff will be happy to work with you and your advisors to help determine which gift is right for you. (*Not presently operational) |
