A Lasting Legacy
Building for the future
How can you help ensure 100 more years of Catholic life at USC? How can you create a lasting legacy? There are several ways that you can help safeguard the future of the USC Catholic Center and its ability to serve Trojans for another century (and beyond).
Endowment Donation
This is the gift that keeps on giving. Simply put, an endowment is a long-term investment that provides a perpetual source of funding for a meaningful cause. By donating to the USC Caruso Center’s endowment fund, you can make a lasting impact that continues to benefit future generations of Catholic Trojans.
Whether you donate $100 or $100,000, roughly 5% of your gift will support the USC Caruso Catholic Center each year… FOREVER! Please consider making a meaningful gift to support the faith journey of our current students and those yet to come.
Legacy Gift
A legacy gift involves leaving a charitable donation for the USC Caruso Catholic Center in your will or estate plan. This gift can be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or particular assets such as property or stocks.
Also known as a bequest, a legacy gift ensures that your support for the Catholic Center continues beyond your lifetime. It is a way to reflect your values and beliefs well beyond the conclusion of your earthly journey. Legacy gifts can also provide tax benefits to your estate, which can help maximize the impact of your donation. By leaving a legacy gift, you can make a significant difference in the lives of USC students and create a meaningful tribute to your generosity and compassion.
Charitable Gift Annuity
If you are at least 65-years-old, a charitable gift annuity may be the perfect option for you. A charitable gift annuity is a safe and effective investment vehicle that allows you to support the USC Caruso Catholic Center with a substantial gift while also receiving a steady stream of income for the rest of your life.
The amount of income you receive is determined by the size of your donation, your age, and current interest rates. A charitable gift annuity can provide significant tax benefits, including a charitable tax deduction for a portion of the donation and potential savings on capital gains taxes. By making a charitable gift annuity, you can support the USC Caruso Catholic Center, receive a stable income stream, and make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.
Your generosity is essential
The USC Caruso Catholic Center receives no monetary help from USC or the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. We are 100% donor funded. We rely on the generosity of our donors to continue our mission and share Christ with the students of USC.
