Support CCS
Our Endowment & Legacy Gifts
CCS has partnered with Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) to create the Catholic Community Services of Lane County Endowment Fund. OCF's stewardship and long-term investment program will help us build our endowment fund in perpetuity, providing a stable stream of income to support CCS's delivery of critical-need services to neighbors throughout Lane County.
This partnership gives our supporters the opportunity to designate a gift to this permanent fund and ensure future funding for our work. We also offer the option of creating a life income gift, often called a planned gift. OCF staff will work with our staff and interested donors who wish to create bequests, charitable remainder trusts (CRTs), charitable gift annuities (CGAs), and charitable lead trusts (CLTs). Assets remaining at the termination of any trust or gift annuity will be designated to our endowment fund to provide ongoing support for Catholic Community Services of Lane County.
Charitable Trusts & Gift Annuities
Charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) and charitable gift annuities (CGAs) are life income gifts that allow donors to make a gift to CCS, enjoy income for life or for a specified number of years, and obtain an income and estate tax benefit. Assets remaining at the termination of the trust or gift annuity may be directed to a permanent endowment at Oregon Community Foundation to support CCS.
Charitable Lead Trusts
Charitable lead trusts (CLTs) are gifts that allow donors to make a gift to CCS of an income stream for a specified number of years, with the assets of the trust then reverting back to the donor or their loved ones. This allows the donor either to transfer assets to their family with reduced estate and gift tax consequences or allows the donor to take an income tax deduction in year 1 for a gift that will actually be made to CCS over multiple years. Income paid from the trust CCS may be directed to a permanent endowment at Oregon Community Foundation to support CCS.

Monsignor Murnane Society
We are proud to introduce the Monsignor Murnane Society, our circle of donors who have made planned gifts supporting CCS, named in honor of our founder, Msgr. Edmund J. Murnane.
Members of the Monsignor Murnane Society share a common commitment: ensuring that Catholic Community Services of Lane County will continue serving our neighbors for generations to come. By including a gift to the Catholic Community Services of Lane County Endowment Fund or naming CCS in their will or other estate plans, they are creating a lasting legacy of compassion, hope, and service.
We are deeply grateful to the following individuals and families whose generosity is helping secure the future of our mission:
-
Chase Family Trust
-
John Francis Quilter Trust
In a very real way, their gifts and the good that results from them, will go on for as long as there is need in our community.
