Become a recurring giver

Recurring gifts provide a stable source of funding when other sources of funding are fluctuating or unavailable for any reason.

Donate stocks or securities*

Charitable gifts of appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds may provide you with specific tax advantages. As the donor, you can receive a tax deduction for the market value of the gift at the time of your donation, while not having to pay capital gains tax on the appreciated amount.

If you sell depreciated stock and contribute the proceeds, you can receive a tax deduction for the charitable gift and a deduction for the capital loss.

To support efficiency and stewardship goals, Catholic Charities gifts of appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds are processed through the Catholic Diocese of Wichita. Please designate Catholic Charities on the form.

Make a gift in honor or memory of a loved one

Give to a Catholic Charities Endowment Fund

Catholic Charities has several endowment giving opportunities for persons to give in. The interest that accrues from the endowment funds will be used to sustain services through funding changes, financial crises or to repair a building where services are hosted, such St. Anthony Family Shelter, Adult Day Services or Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter. 

• Gifts of $25,000 or more to establish a new endowment to support a program in perpetuity
• Gifts of any amount to previously established endowment fund in perpetuity

Designate your contribution

While not part of the general fund, designated gifts are always welcome. To donate a gift in support of a specific program, select the designation from the drop-down menu.

IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) contribution

Transfer retirement earnings to reduce your tax liability and meet your required minimum distribution (RMD) needs. If you are at least 70 ½ years old, another commonly used option to make a gift to charity is through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA. A QCD allows you to make direct transfer of up to $108,000 per year from your IRA to the charity of your choice. Because Catholic Charities is tax exempt, there is no tax. You can give from pre-tax assets and the gift is not reported as taxable income. Simply contact your IRA administrator and request a “Qualified Charitable Distribution” from your IRA.*

Leave a lasting legacy with a bequest

We encourage you to consider a legacy gift after the members of the family have been taken care of in your Last Will and Testament.*
