Leave a Legacy
Charitable giving comes in many forms. Individuals can choose to make financial gifts or give property to charities during their lifetime—or some have elected to make arrangements for legacy gifts through their estate. In some cases they let the charity know as they are making the provision in their will; in other cases, the charity is contacted after the donor’s death by the executor of their estate. Estate gifts are important to Saint Luke Institute because they provide critically needed funds for endowment, capital projects or underwriting for new initiatives that promote the health and well-being of women and men religious, clergy and others involved in church ministry.

In an effort to honor the women and men who chose to support the work of Saint Luke Institute in this very special way, we are forming the Saint Luke Legacy Society for all who inform us they are including Saint Luke Institute in their bequest plans. To be listed as a member we ask that you notify us in writing of your decision to include Saint Luke Institute in your will or estate plans.

The Role of Estate and Planned Gifts
Since 1977, Saint Luke Institute has worked to help priests and men and women religious, clergy and others involved in church ministry. Through the years, individuals and organizations have given generously to help Saint Luke Institute reach out to those who have dedicated their lives to serving others but who are now in need of healing. The services and treatment provided are means of responding to the mandate of Jesus Christ to participate in the mystery of salvation through the mysteries of teaching and healing.

While outright gifts provide valuable support for current programs, estate and planned gifts— such as bequests, life insurance, IRAs and life income plans— provide critically needed funds for endowment, capital projects or underwriting for new initiatives. A few of the planned gift options that you may want to consider are described below.

• Your Will
• Gifts of Insurance, IRAs and Retirement Accounts

Thank you for your interest in ensuring that Saint Luke Institute will be able to continue to provide the compassionate, professional treatment that these priests and religious need and deserve.
