No parish can do the mission and work that Christ calls each parish to do without the parishioners’ generous giving of time, talent, and financial support.

Parishioners and friends of Immaculate Conception have many opportunities to support our parish mission through their donations and gifts. Whether through the traditional weekly envelope donation, direct gifts and endowments, or by using the convenience of electronic debit (described below), your tax-deductible financial support will be recognized and gratefully received.

PLANNED GIVING

There are many ways that families can give to The Church of the Immaculate Conception Parish to assist in the many ministries of the parish. Please feel free to call the Development Office to ask further questions about leaving a legacy of goodness to our faith community at the Church of the Immaculate Conception.

CHURCH

• Charitable Gift Annuities are a popular way to leave a legacy to missionary societies, universities, and more recently, the Parish to which you belong.    Gift Annuities provide a guaranteed income stream for either one or two lifetimes, in the case of a spouse. Income can be received immediately or on a deferred basis. Compared with CD's or low dividend stocks, it's possible to increase your income, receive a charitable deduction, and make a wonderful legacy gift to the Church.
  
• Wills & Bequeaths are the most frequent form of legacy giving. They can be part of a standard type of will or added to an existing will by means of a codicil. You can specify a dollar amount or leave a residual (remaining) portion of your estate after all other distributions are made. This usually takes the form of a percentage ranging from 10% to 100% of the residual portion.
   

  • What is the simplest way to write a bequest?

    Should you decided to include the Church of the Immaculate Conception in your Will, please use the following codicil and forward to your attorney:

    “I bequeath the sum of $ ______ or ____ percentage of the residual of my estate to the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Roman Catholic Congregation, Inc., located at 200 Ware Avenue, Towson, MD 21204 for the benefit of (The Church of the Immaculate Conception, Immaculate Conception School or Towson Catholic High School)."

• Gifts of Appreciated Securities (i.e. stock & mutual funds). If you own long-term securities that have appreciated in value, you may prefer to contribute securities rather than cash.  In this way, there may be both capital gains tax and income tax benefits. Please download the attached the specific stock transfer instructions.

• Gifts of Life Insurance presents many donation possibilities.  You may donate an up-to-date policy, purchase a new policy in the Parish’s name and make the premium payments, or name Immaculate Conception as a beneficiary of a current policy.

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS GIVING CIRCLE

Pope Pius V conferred on Thomas the title of Doctor of the Church, and Leo XIII, in 1880, declared him the patron of all Catholic universities, academies, colleges, and schools. Gifts to the St. Thomas Acquinas Giving Circle Immaculate Conception School will help make the dream of attending Immaculate Conception School a reality for students with financial needs. Immaculate Conception School offers a path to success for our students and hope for the future.  We invite you to join this wonderful endeavor with a gift. With your help, our school will have a transformative effect in the lives of our students. Please contact the supportourparish@theimmaculate.org for additional information or call the Parish Office.

SCHOOL ENDOWMENTS

Endowment funds are an accumulation of resources that donors choose to maintain intact and in perpetuity; only the income (interest) from the funds is distributed for designated purposes.  We created endowments to ensure the future of our school.  The benefit of the endowment funds established for Immaculate Conception School is to provide tuition assistance to deserving students and for the operating needs of the School.  

Please contact the Development Office or supportourparish@theimmaculate.org if considering making a gift of commitment to the financial security and future of our schools.
