Good Shepherd Legacy Society

The Good Shepherd Legacy Society recognizes individuals who have included a gift to Catholic Social Services in their estate plans. You can impact future generations and inspire others in our community by leaving your own legacy gift. Legacy giving is commonly provided through a bequest in a will. Some society members may make charitable trust or gift annuity arrangements. Others have qualified for membership by listing CSSMV as a beneficiary of a portion of a life insurance policy.

We do not ask for a specific donation amount or require official legal documentation. The only requirement to join the Good Shepherd Legacy Society is a verbal confirmation that a planned charitable gift has been arranged to support the mission and work of Catholic Social Services. The size of the legacy gift, the type of charitable vehicle to be used, and the program area(s) that will benefit are unique to each member and may or may not be disclosed in advance to the agency.

In addition to receiving ongoing communications from Catholic Social Services, members of the Good Shepherd Legacy Society are invited to an exclusive dinner each year, where they learn about the agency’s recent challenges and successes, as well as our plans for the future.
