Types of Bequest Gifts
Planning your philanthropy is a good step to take, no matter who you are giving to or in what amount. Life can change in a moment- make sure you, your loved ones, and your favorite charities are remembered.
There are four main types of bequest gifts: unrestricted, restricted, residual, and contingent, each with its own unique way of remembering your favorite charitable missions after your passing. Bequests are generally revocable gifts, meaning they can be changed or modified at any time.
Unrestricted gifts ensure the work of the entire mission continues thanks to you. You can designate either a specific dollar amount or a specific percentage of your total estate.
Do you have a cherished program at Catholic Charities of Central Colorado that you would like to support specifically? You can choose to leave a gift for a favorite program to strengthen its future.
Residual gifts to Catholic Charities are made after other obligations are completed.
Contingent gifts to Catholic Charities take effect when a primary beneficiary is no longer living.
