Ways to Give

" Come to him a living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen as precious in the sight of God, and like living stones, let yourself be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:4-5

• Annual Support
  • Cash, appreciated stock or tangible property are all examples of tax deductible gifts that support the Catholic ministries throughout Wyoming. Unrestricted gifts enable the Wyoming Catholic Ministries Foundation to work with the Diocese to financially address the most pressing needs and priorities of our parishes and ministries.
  • Donors over the age of 70 may claim a Qualified Charitable Deduction (QCD) for up to $100,000 by gifting funds to a charity in lieu of taking these funds as personal income. This has proven itself as a tremendous tax saving strategy for many donors.

• Planned Gifts
  • Wyoming Catholic Ministries Foundation works closely with financial planners and estate planning attorneys to develop tax-friendly alternatives that provide for their client’s families while enhancing the Catholic mission and faith-based programs. Gift Annuities, Charitable Remainder Trusts, Unitrusts and Wills are a few examples of ways which donors can provide for their needs or the needs of their loved ones, while supporting the Church and caring for the greater Catholic community.

• Endowment Giving
  • Gifts may be designated for an existing endowment to support Catholic Schools, Seminarian’s & Priestly Formation, Diocese Operations or The Wyoming Catholic Ministries Foundation. Donors with a passion for a ministry may also choose to create a named fund to support specific programs or services.
