Endowed Gifts

Your Gift Can Last Forever

An endowment gift to the Archdiocese of Seattle today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at the Archdiocese of Seattle. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime supporters of the Archdiocese of Seattle, you have two goals: Make sure the Archdiocese of Seattle continues to receive support after you are gone. Secondly, create a lasting legacy for your parents.

Together you make a $25,000 donation to the Archdiocese of Seattle, which the Archdiocese of Seattle invests, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support the Archdiocese of Seattle’s mission in honor of your parents. Plus, you both qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on your taxes.
