Tribute and memorial gifts
Honor the memory of a loved one through a gift that gives back.
Give a lasting legacy
By giving a memorial or tribute gift, you can create a legacy of philanthropy that keeps giving even after a loved one has passed. These gifts are a great way to honor the memory of someone who shared Catholic Charities Twin Cities’ vision of creating a community where everyone has access to basic needs like affordable housing, meals, and mental health support.
Through gifts like these, Catholic Charities Twin Cities has provided more than 645,000 nights of housing and emergency shelter, served more than 1 million meals, and coordinated many other critical services to help people in need.
How do tribute and memorial gifts work?
For memorial gifts, you and the honoree’s next-of-kin will receive an acknowledgment card. For multiple tribute gifts, you have the option of setting up an honor gift registry or memorial registry. The person, couple, or family being honored with a gift registry will receive a commemorative book, which lists all who contributed to the registry or memorial.
Your gifts in action
Following the traumatizing and exhausting experience of losing her home and jumping around to different places, Patrice remembered the relief she felt at the Catholic Charities Family Service Center in Maplewood.
“When I got welcomed at the door, suddenly everything changed,” she said. “It was like I could finally rest mentally – and I was so grateful to be somewhere comfortable with my grandkids again.”
