Estate Planning

A gift to the Duke Catholic Center can be part of a smart financial plan.  The Duke Catholic Center works in conjunction with the Duke University Office of Gift Planning to help you and your financial advisors develop a gift plan that meets your financial and philanthropic goals. A properly planned gift may help you reduce or eliminate capital gains and gift and estate taxes. You may realize immediate tax savings as well.  Your gift plan designated to the Catholic Center will have an incredible impact on the Catholic faith opportunities for the Duke students.

Planned gift options include: life income gifts, charitable lead trusts, real estate, tangible property, securities, bequests, retirement accounts and other testamentary gift plans.  To learn more about including the Catholic Center in your estate plans, visit: http://giving.duke.edu/giftplanning/
