Saint Matthew can receive a wide variety of charitable contributions, including Cash and Securities, Bequests and Wills, Retirement Plan Assets/IRAs, Life Insurance, Income-Producing Plans, and Charitable Lead Trusts. These gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by state and federal laws. Donors are urged to consult an attorney or financial advisor before completing arrangements for legacy gifts.  

There are two avenues for such giving. Gifts may be made to Saint Matthew’s general fund, where the principal and earnings will be used for programs or projects where the greatest need is. Or you may direct your gift to the Saint Matthew Foundation Fund, where the gift will be invested and only the earnings used for the purpose you have designated.

Perhaps you have already named Saint Matthew a beneficiary through your will, bequests, trusts, or other deferred or estate gifts without notifying Saint Matthew. If so, let us know. No details about your estate plan are necessary. We want to thank you now for the legacy you will leave later. You will automatically become a member of the Saint Matthew Legacy Society.
