How a gift and bequest works

You can make a gift to support our work this year by contacting us or visiting our website. A charitable bequest is a way to make your giving go further. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to Diocese of Toledo as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest by designating us as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.
