DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS
Paradisus Dei accepts gifts from donor-advised funds (DAFs). To support our ministry, please enter #06-1699099 when you apply for a DAF. You may also need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) to make a grant recommendation from DAFs.
- DAF grants may not be used to satisfy a preexisting pledge, but they can be used for outright gifts to the organization.
- The Internal Revenue Code specifies that DAF grants may not be used to purchase a ticket or table at a fundraising event.
Learn more about DAFs on the IRS website.
Bequests
You can include Paradisus Dei in your legacy by providing a gift of cash or securities in your will, either as a designated sum or as a percentage of your residuary estate. Making a legacy gift can be advantageous to your estate planning, plus it will ensure that Paradisus Dei has the resources to continue strengthening families for years to come.
Donors who make a planned gift will be recognized in the Gaudium et Spes Society, referring to the joy and hope the gift will allow Paradisus Dei to bring families in the future. Society members will receive:
- Personal updates from CEO and President Steve Bollman.
- An invitation to an annual event in Houston.
- Special invitations for pilgrimages with the ministry.
If you have provided for Paradisus Dei in your estate plans, but have not previously notified us of your intentions, please contact the Development Office at 281-974-3687 or [email protected].
Sharing your wishes allows us to express our gratitude during your lifetime, ensures your wishes will be met and assists us with long-term planning. It also allows us to help you with the language and nature of your gift.
