Legacy Gift

Many Ways to Leave a Legacy for our Scholars

Planned giving is a wonderful way to support us and be remembered, and there are many advantages:

• You gift costs nothing now
• You can modify the gift if your life circumstances change
• You can take care of your family first and designate any amount, large or small, for St. Peter Claver Catholic School
• Your memory will live on in your support for rigorous Catholic education in urban areas

There are Several Ways to Make a Planned Gift

Name St. Peter Claver Catholic School as a beneficiary of

• Retirement Accounts
• Life Insurance Policies
• Bank or Brokerage Accounts
• Certificates of Deposit
• Donor-Advised Funds

Request a beneficiary form from your bank, insurance company, or your financial planner. Write in St. Peter Claver Catholic School as beneficiary or partial beneficiary. You will need our tax ID number: 41-0824943. And our business address, 1060 W. Central Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55104. Return the form to the proper authority, keeping a copy for yourself.

Make a gift in your will

Many people are surprised at how easy it is to make or update a will. Having a will eases the burden for your heirs and makes it much more simple for them to settle your estate.

You can designate a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate as a gift to St. Peter Claver Catholic School.  You can also designate how you want the funds to be used. For example, you may want to provide a scholarship.

Here is some sample language you can share with your attorney or adviser:

I give [__ percent of my estate or description of asset or ___ dollars] to
the St. Peter Claver Catholic School, 1060 W. Central Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55104
Tax ID number: 41-0824943 for its [unrestricted or specific designation] charitable use and purpose.

Please let us know you have established a legacy gift in any way because we would appreciate the opportunity to thank you and recognize your generosity.
