Honor Someone Special With a Gift in Their Name

If you have a loved one who has been helped by the Archdiocese of Seattle, establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor them or celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday, while supporting our mission.

An Example of How It Works

John and his mother smilingWhen your mom passed away, you knew you wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for her. You remembered that during her lifetime she was always praising the Archdiocese of Seattle for its tireless efforts to better the community. You decide to make a gift to the Archdiocese of Seattle in your mother's name using appreciated securities. Not only will your mother's legacy live on at the Archdiocese of Seattle thanks to the gift, but you also qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
