Transferable on Death (TOD) Gifts
Harold and Jeanne married after meeting at Church several years ago. They wanted to leave a legacy gift that would support the Church far into the future, so they contacted the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana about establishing an endowment.Jeanne: We talked to our investment advisor about planning goals and explained that we wanted to support the Church on a long-lasting basis. He suggested we consider starting an endowment or giving to an existing endowment for the good of the Church. We knew the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana was the organization that built endowments for the Church, and we told him about it. Our advisor suggested a simple solution naming the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana as a beneficiary of one of our mutual funds.
Harold: I like knowing that if I pass away, Jeanne will have enough to meet her needs. We both like knowing that the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana will receive the mutual fund after both of us pass away. We couldn't be happier with our giving strategy.
