Since 1998, donors like you have helped provide 161,000 tuition scholarships to underserved children through Catholic Education Arizona. For families who desire a Catholic education but lack the financial means, these scholarships offer a gift that lasts a lifetime. Through our philanthropic division, Changing Lives with Legacy, we accept IRA’s, DAFs (Donor Advisor Funds) and Legacy gifts.  

“Early education is the foundation for building life-long professional, personal, and skills growth,” said Judy, a dedicated donor. “These children are our future. We owe them a quality education to support them throughout their lives. A donation, small or large, will provide the assistance they need.” 

Three Gifts That Change Lives 

Donor-Advised Fund Grant 

If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you have funds set aside that are waiting to change lives. When you recommend a grant to our Changing Lives with Legacy Division, your gift will allow families to say “yes” to a Catholic education for their children.  

Qualified Charitable Distribution  

If you are 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution directly from your IRA to support Changing Lives with Legacy. This type of gift, made directly to a charitable organization, is excluded from your taxable income, and if you are 73 or older, it can also satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution.

Legacy Gift 

Have you considered the legacy you would like to leave? A bequest to Changing Lives with Legacy helps provide a Catholic education to underserved, disabled, and foster children for years to come. Once you have made your gift, you will become an honored member of our Angels of Education Legacy Society.  

Changing Lives One Scholarship at a Time  

Today, children across Arizona are waiting for the opportunity to attend a school where they can grow academically and spiritually.
