Planned Giving


If you are interested in playing a part in securing the future of the Sisters’ mission and ministry, a planned gift through one of the following options might serve your wishes:


Gifts through a Will

This is possibility the easiest and most common form of planned giving.  A gift made through your will can be either a dollar amount or a percentage.  The gift can also be unrestricted, allowing the Sisters to use your gift where most needed.  It can also be restricted to a specific purpose.  When naming the Sisters in your will, please use our legal name:  The Congregation of the Third Order of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, Joliet, IL.  


Gifts of Life Insurance

This is an option for donors holding life insurance policies no longer need.  You might consider donating it to the Sisters.  Donors may also purchase a new insurance policy and give it to the Sisters.  If making a gift of life insurance interests you, please consult with an insurance professional.
 

Gifts of Retirement Plans

The Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate can be made a beneficiary of your IRA.  The gift to the Sisters will be free of probate.  Please consult with your financial advisor.  

Individuals who advise us that they intend to remember the Sisters with a planned gift automatically become members of The Canticle of the Future, our planned giving society.  For more information, please contact the Mission Advancement office at 815-725-8735, x116.
