Planned Giving /Estate Planning

Make Mercy Part of Your Legacy with Planned Giving.

Were you aware that there are several avenues through which you can create a legacy benefiting you, your loved ones, and Mercy High School? These methods, known as "planned gifts," allow for mutually advantageous outcomes through careful and considerate planning for both you and Mercy.

We appreciate Mercy High School's alumnae, parents, grandparents, educators, and friends for their generous commitment to strengthening the school via planned gifts. This ensures the enduring vibrancy of the beloved Mercy that you know and love for future generations, while also gaining benefits in your estate planning.

The Catherine's Legacy Society honors those who've supported Mercy High School  through planned gifts or estate plan provisions.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned giving is the process of donating planned gifts, commonly granted through wills or living trusts. A planned gift is any major gift, made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning.

Why Make a Planned Gift?

Planning your legacy can help you meet your financial and philanthropic goals. There are a variety of ways to structure a gift that can satisfy both your financial and philanthropic goals while providing you and your family with financial benefits. Some benefits of planned giving include income tax relief, reduced estate taxes, and capital gains tax savings. It is important to satisfy your wishes and keep in mind the potential tax and financial benefits.

Why Support Mercy?

When you support Mercy High School, you are investing in the next generation of Mercy graduates—women of faith, women in pursuit of academic excellence, women of influence, women of compassionate service, and proactive global citizens.
