Planned Giving - St. Bernard's

Planned Giving

Leaving a Legacy, Securing the Future

Our student experience would not be possible without the generosity of benefactors who have planned their gifts to St. Bernard’s. Charitable gifts help you meet your current philanthropic goals and extend your generosity well into the future. With the right planning, a gift can also protect your assets, provide for your family, and guarantee you and your spouse income for life. A charitable bequest under your will can make a significant impact that will cost you nothing in your lifetime.

There is a vast multitude of ways that you can give to the future of St. Bernard’s and to our students while meeting your unique charitable goals andcrafting the legacy that you would like to leave. If you are interested in exploring your options for planned giving, please contact our Development Office. We are honored by the opportunity to work with you to develop a plan that aligns with your personal, financial, and charitable goals- goals that we will work diligently to serve.
