Create an Annuity

There are a number of ways you can help support the education of our young seminarians and provide quality health care for our elderly and sick friars. The opportunity listed below contain general information regarding giving options. However, we urge you to seek the counsel of a professional financial advisor prior to making your final decision.

Create a Charitable Gift Annuity

A Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple, contractual agreement in which you transfer assets to the Southern Dominican Province in exchange for our promise to pay fixed payments to you or to you and another individual for life. The annuity rate depends on your age on the day the annuity begins and will remain the same during the life of the agreement. For more information on creating a Charitable Gift Annuity please email our Development Director Fr. Scott O'Brien, OP or contact our Development Office at 504-837-2129

*The Southern Dominican Province, USA (our legal title) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit tax-exempt institution and enjoys the benefits of Federal tax deductions offered to private philanthropic donors.
