Benefits of Giving

In order to include Ascension Sacred Heart in your will, you need to discuss the necessary changes with your attorney. At that time, please specify your bequest, either a specific amount or a percentage of your estate, and clearly describe which Ascension Sacred Heart service area, if any, you want to support with your gift.  We hope that you will let us know we’ve been included in your will, as we would very much like to thank you for this generosity. Recognition of your support can be an inspiration for others to leave their own legacy gifts to the ministry. However, rest assured that we will respect your wishes if you desire to remain anonymous and are most grateful for your special generosity.

If you have a whole life insurance policy that you no longer need, please consider donating it to Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation, naming us as both owner and beneficiary of the policy. This will greatly reduce your taxable estate, while making it possible for Ascension Sacred Heart to benefit substantially from your generous contribution.  An alternate life insurance contribution is your purchase of a completely new policy that designates the Foundation as owner and beneficiary. Please contact us before purchasing a new policy. Premiums you pay on the policy may qualify for an income tax deduction.
