Please find the bulletin notes for the month of November in English and Spanish. Graphics are below.
We would like to request that you consider including #iGiveCatholic in your bulletin whether your parish is participating or not.
For the last several months, we have encouraged planned giving in terms of gifts anyone can make – regardless of income or wealth. In November, the focus is on Charitable Gift Annuities. This is a fund that pays income to your parishioners 65+ with the remainder going to the parish endowment fund at their death.
Please consider using these notes in your parish bulletin to encourage planned gifts to your parish endowment fund, which will benefit your parish forever.
Some parishes have indicated that they would prefer a simple business card size graphic that they can just place in their bulletin. We are providing both formats to fit your parish’s needs! These graphics are also available on our website at https://www.cfnga.org/resources/parish-resources/.
We would like to work with you to increase your parish endowment fund, and we would like to make it as easy as possible to do so. These bulletin notes are just one way to communicate planned giving to your parishioners.
If you have any questions, please contact Juliet Greco at (404) 497-9440 or jgreco@cfnga.org.
