The Diocese of Des Moines Legacy Society

Ensuring a parish, school, or other entity's Long-Term Success

Legacy gifts help to provide a solid financial foundation for your parish, school or Catholic organization within the Diocese of Des Moines. These gifts allow you to take care of your family, provide for gifts to loved ones, and include a charitable gift for your parish, school or Catholic organization within the Diocese of Des Moines. We can help you find the best way to make your gift, and perhaps help you to make a larger gift than you thought possible.

Catholic Foundation of Southwest Iowa serves as the Planned Giving office for our Diocese, including parishes, schools and individuals who may desire this assistance. We help you connect your investing and giving to our Catholic values.

There are many ways to leave a planned gift to your favorite Catholic entity. Often with no out of pocket giving now. Planned gifts can be as simple as a beneficiary designation on an insurance policy or in your will to as complex as a trust. The two most common planned gifts include beneficiary designations and Charitable Gift Annuities. We are here to assist you with your planned giving questions and needs.

The Catholic Foundation maintains The Diocese of Des Moines Legacy Society, individuals and families that have left a planned gift in any form to a Catholic parish, school, organization or ministry within the Diocese of Des Moines. If you have left a planned gift to a Catholic parish, school, organization or ministry within the Diocese of Des Moines, let us know by completing the downloadable form below. We’d love to have you as The Diocese of Des Moines Legacy Society member! Your identity and the specifics of your planned gift will remain as confidential as you wish. By knowing that you have left a planned gift, we can help facilitate your wishes when that time comes.
