2010-2011 ANNUAL REPORT n BISHOP MIEGE HIGH SCHOOL 21 PRESERVE the PAST PROVIDE for the FUTURE

One of the hallmarks of Bishop Miege High School is the tremendous support received from our alumni, parents and friends. This show of generosity has provided $25 million in capital improvements over the past decade. The total renovation of our educational facility and our athletic facilities will serve students for years to come.

Currently, we are faced with the challenge of an unstable economy and the rising number of families who seek a quality faith-filled edu- cation for their son/daughter, but do not have the necessary resources to provide one. To insure the growth and a secure future, we look to other means of support for the school, thus, the Bishop Miege Legacy Society/Endowment Fund.

What is PLANNED GIVING? A “planned gift” can be one you give immediately, such as stocks, property or other assets. Or, it can be one you give later, through a bequest in your Will or a Trust. Making a “planned gift” can be ex- tremely easy. For example, you can add “Bishop Miege High School, Shawnee Mission, KS” as a partial or total beneficiary of your life insurance, IRA, pension account or other investment account.

A “planned gift” provides future support to Bishop Miege and offers you the opportunity to extend your legacy of faith beyond your own lifetime.

“Planned Giving” necessitates some advanced planning to properly transfer assets. This type of giving typically involves deferred gifts to the school. Thank you for your consideration.

22 2010-2011 ANNUAL REPORT n BISHOP MIEGE HIGH SCHOOL Types of PLANNED gifts • Bequests: Designate a gift to Bishop Miege in your will or trust • Charitable Gift Annuity: In return for a donation, receive a fixed income for life

• Retained Life Estate: Donate your residence to Bishop Miege as a beneficiary on a certificate of deposit, an annuity, IRA or retirement plan.

• Life Insurance: Designate Bishop Miege as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy or gift a policy you no longer need.

With the guidance from your estate planning attorney, choose what to give.

BENEFITS All gifts provide a significant benefit to Bishop Miege High School while possibly: Increasing current income for you or others • Reducing your income tax • Helping to avoid capital gains • Passing assets to your family at a reduced tax cost Your next step Let us know your plans. Please contact the Development Office at 913-262-2701, ext. 238 or [email protected] with ques- tions or to let us know you have made plans for a gift.
