Checks & Credit Cards

Checks should be made payable to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Please provide your credit card details on the back of your pledge card. Kindly mail the enclosed gift/pledge card in the envelope provided or directly to the Appeal Office at 467 Bloomfield Avenue, Bloomfield, CT 06002.

Pledged Gifts

Appeal gifts may be paid over five months. Please consider including your first month’s payment with your pledge card.

Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Gifts

Under the SECURE 2.0 Act, the age at which individuals must begin taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) has increased to 73. For example, if you turned 72 in 2023, your first RMD is due by April 1, 2025 (for the 2024 tax year), with subsequent RMDs required annually by December 31. However, starting at age 70½, you may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA. A QCD allows you to donate up to $108,000 per year directly to a qualified charity without incurring income tax on the distribution. This can be a tax-efficient way to support causes that matter to you.

Please consult your tax advisor and kindly instruct your retirement account broker to make the check payable to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, and mail it to 467 Bloomfield Avenue, Bloomfield, CT 06002. Please call the Appeal Office at (800) 781-2550 with any questions you may have regarding this gift.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Every year several local companies give generously to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal through matching gift programs, allowing them to support causes that are important to their employees. Please contact your Human Resources Department to determine if your company will match your gift.

Transfer of Stock, Bequests, or Including the Appeal in Your Will
