Create a Lasting Legacy Planned giving is a meaningful way to support Ursuline Sisters Mission while also making thoughtful financial plans for your future. These gifts can have a lasting impact on the people and programs we serve, helping sustain our mission for generations to come. There are several simple ways to include Ursuline Sisters Mission in your plans: Include a bequest in your will Name Ursuline Sisters Mission as a beneficiary of your estate. You may choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other obligations are met. Designate us as a beneficiary Add Ursuline Sisters Mission as a beneficiary on your retirement plan, IRA, life insurance policy, or bank account. This is often as easy as completing a beneficiary designation form. Give appreciated securities Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can support our mission while potentially providing tax advantages to you. Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) If you are age 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA to Ursuline Sisters Mission. These gifts count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and may help reduce your taxable income. Planned gifts of all sizes help ensure that our ministries continue to serve with compassion, dignity, and hope well into the future.
