Join the NCCW Legacy Circle and the 100th Birthday Club today

Many non-profit organizations depend on contributions and the National Council of Catholic Women is no different. Financial donations from members help support NCCW’s operations and its programs throughout the year. In fact, 15% of NCCW’s revenue comes from donations.Supporting NCCW financially is a demonstration of support and commitment and we appreciate all of the members who have contributed over the years. We are pleased to announce the launch of two new giving categories. The Legacy Circle represents an opportunity to provide sustained support to NCCW over a decade. With a pledge of $10,000 over 10 years and an annual contribution of at least $1,000, a member can contribute significantly to the mission of NCCW. Click here for the Legacy Circle Pledge Form.
In addition, in honor of NCCW’s upcoming 100th birthday in 2020, we are also introducing the NCCW 100th Birthday Club. Members who contribute $100 a year for ten years, from 2011 through 2020, will become members of the 100th Birthday Club. Members who pledge at the Legacy Circle level or who join the Birthday Club will be recognized with special ribbons this November at the 2011 Annual Convention in Chicago, IL, and receive special acknowledgement during the convention. Later they will also receive pins designating these special giving levels. Click here for the 100 Birthday Club Pledge Form.
You can contribute to either the Legacy Circle or the 100th Birthday Club online! Today, please send a check to the NCCW office with your pledge form.
In addition, bequests to NCCW represent another important component of our overall planned giving efforts. In the past, NCCW benefited directly from substantial bequests. However, in recent years, this giving opportunity has not received as much emphasis. Today we again want to encourage members to consider recognizing NCCW in their wills. If you have already identified NCCW in your will, please let us know so we can thank you and acknowledge this important contribution. If you have not yet recognized NCCW, we encourage you to consider naming NCCW in your will.
Giving clearly demonstrates your faith and your commitment to NCCW and will ensure that NCCW continues to thrive today and in the future.
