Planned Giving

Your Faith. Your Values. Your Legacy.


Continue Your Compassion for Generations to Come

At Catholic Charities, Diocese of Nashville, we witness the life-changing power of compassion every day. Your generosity helps us welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, shelter the vulnerable, and walk alongside those in need.

A planned gift — made through your will, trust, or other arrangements — ensures this mission continues for years to come. Whether your gift is large or small, it will leave a legacy of faith and service for future generations.
