There are several additional ways to support Little Flower.
Bequest: Leave money to support Little Flower and its students in your will with the flexibility to update your will if life circumstances change.
Beneficiary Designation: Provide a planned gift to Little Flower by using life insurance policies, IRAs, and retirement plans. By making Little Flower the beneficiary of your IRA, you protect your heirs from one of the most heavily taxed portions of your estate as neither you nor your heirs will be liable for income taxes once the assets are distributed to Little Flower.
Stocks or Appreciated Assets: Donate securities to Little Flower to both preserve cash flow and eliminate capital gains tax on the transfer.
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from IRA: If you are age 70.5 or older, give up to $100,000 per year from your IRA to Little Flower without paying income taxes on the distribution. This allows you to use the gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.

Retirement Account as an Estate Gift
One of the best assets to give to Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls comes from your retirement account. When passing your retirement account on to your heirs, it is subject to income taxes. When giving it to Little Flower and other charities it is free of any tax. Other assets passed on to heirs will be nearly tax free under the new tax code, but retirement accounts still have to pay income taxes, except when given to charitable organizations like Little Flower. You can divide your retirement account among heirs and Little Flower by designating percentages.
Retirement assets cannot be designated through your Will. You must use the Beneficiary Designation Form. Use our legal name:
Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls
1000 W. Lycoming Street
Philadelphia, PA 19140

The most widely used planned gift is the bequest. Anyone who owns a home, brokerage account or other assets has an estate and therefore should have a Will and other estate plans. If you wish to include a bequest to benefit the school, please be sure to use our full legal name and address:
