Notre Dame Circle

The Notre Dame Circle is NDCL's group of planned and estate giving donors. A planned gift, a deferred gift from your estate, to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School makes a lasting impact on current and future generations of NDCL students by providing scholarships and financial assistance in perpetuity.

All planned gifts are directed to NDCL’s general endowment fund or to a specific named scholarship and the interest from these provides financial assistance for our students. A named scholarship can be established at any time, most often in memory or in honor of an individual, with a minimum threshold of $25,000.

An Estate Gift is a deferred, marketable asset that NDCL receives after your lifetime when your will and estate are settled. This is not a gift from your current cash flow. Some common examples of Estate Gifts are:

Bequest: A few sentences in your will that indicates Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School as the recipient of a percentage of, or a certain amount of cash, securities or property from your estate. After your lifetime, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School receives your gift.

Life Insurance: If you have a paid-up insurance policy the proceeds, or a portion of it, may be given to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School via a cash gift.

IRAs and Retirement Fund Assets: After your lifetime any funds left in these accounts that are left to family members and friends are subject to taxes. By listing Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School as a beneficiary, these taxes can be reduced or eliminated.

Charitable Remainder Trust: Names one or more beneficiaries of your estate for a period of time, after which the assets go to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School.
We suggest that you consult with your attorney and/or tax advisor to determine which type of Estate Gift fits your needs best.

Steps in making an estate gift to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School:

  2. Update your will to include “Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School” as a beneficiary.
