Ways To Give

Help Those Most in Need


Your gift helps our most vulnerable living in poverty or crisis throughout southeast Wisconsin.  Thanks to gifts like yours, a single mother is able to care for her newborn child, a man facing homelessness who is living with mental illness can receive the care he needs, and a refugee couple is able to feed and clothe their family. For more than a century, Catholic Charities has turned these hopes into a reality thanks to the support of selfless individuals like you. You make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of over 40,000 people through your support of Catholic Charities.

  Life Insurance

You may choose to designate Catholic Charities as the beneficiary, or partial beneficiary, of a life insurance policy. There is no income tax benefit with this option, but a possible estate tax benefit. You may also donate existing policies that are no longer needed. Tax deductions may be equal to the policy's cash replacement value. A donor may also purchase a policy and name Catholic Charities as the owner and beneficiary; the premiums you pay are fully tax deductible. At the donor's death, the charity receives the insurance proceeds.

Every individual’s situation is unique, and Catholic Charities encourages you to work with a trusted financial adviser to determine what options will work best for you.  For more information, please contact:

Support our cause through the Works of Charity Fund

The Works of Charity Fund is our annual giving campaign to support the mission of Catholic Charities. Inspired by Christ's call to serve, our mission is to provide service to those in need, to advocate for justice, and to call upon others to do the same. 

Donors to our fund help to improve the lives of those we serve, empower the most vulnerable, and help to reduce the impact of poverty by supporting quality, compassionate, and effective human services provided by the dedicated, professional staff of Catholic Charities.

In 2023, we were able to positively impact the lives of 53,123 individuals living in southeastern Wisconsin. We couldn't do this without the help of our Works of Charity Fund donors.

"The Good Samaritan showed compassion for his neighbor by caring for him and offering two silver coins to an innkeeeper to continue his care. We invite you to be a Good Samaritan Society member by generously supporting the mission of Catholic Charities to care for our neighbors in need."
