Legacy Giving Memos

The Catholic Foundation continues its mission to build a culture of planned giving. We partner with parishes, schools, and ministries across the Diocese to increase awareness of legacy giving and inspire long‑term generosity that strengthens our Catholic community.

Each month, the Catholic Foundation distributes a Legacy Giving Memo across the Diocese.  We address a variety of planned giving topics and ask outside experts to also weigh in on questions.  Our goal is to educateinform, and build greater awareness of the blessings of planned giving and how they can positively impact your parish community.

If you want to receive this information, please reach out to Chris Backes at cbackes@catholicfoundation.info or (320) 257‑2139, and he will gladly assist.
