- Retirement Funds: includes IRA Charitable Rollover, 401k, 403b, Simple IRA, Etc.
- In 2016 the Charitable IRA rollover was made permanent so that persons 70 ½ years of age can make a gift to charities and Foundations without federal tax liability up to $100,000 per year. People can make a gift to help realize a dream for their Catholic Community to enjoy now and/or in the future. This does not qualify for a charitable deduction. The transfer must be directly from a donor’s IRA plan to the church, charity, school, organization or Corpus Christi Foundation.
- Corpus Christi Foundation professionals welcome the opportunity to discuss the transfer of other retirement assets or have a conversation with your financial planners or attorney. All conversations are confidential.

- The goals of the Foundation are to listen to the wishes of donors and direct their gifts to the parish, school or project of their choice. Unrestricted gifts support the work of the Foundation in both parishes, the school and the Lakeshore Catholic Community.
