Many charities must take a portion of your gift to cover their own costs (salaries, expenses, mortgages, etc.). According to Charity Navigator, a majority of charities spend about 25 percent of every donation on the overhead of running their operations and 75 percent of a gift on the actual cause. This Foundation is different. Since all costs associated with running this 501(c)3 organization are covered by Catholic United Financial, 100 percent of your gift is passed on to the parish, charity or cause that matters to you.
Contact the Foundation to learn more about these types of giving. When making a planned gift such as bequests, life insurance, retirement plan we can assist you with the proper execution of your type of gift.
