Exploring what’s possible in gift planning serves both the prospective donor and Providence.
- A friend of Providence Saint Joseph, Providence Holy Cross or Providence Tarzana is advised to provide for family, self and other loved ones before considering a planned gift. Then he or she may have many more philanthropic options than most people know. The exploratory phase may lead to a formal proposal from the Foundation which the donor reviews with independent counsel.
- Providence has no interest in accepting charitable gifts that our Foundation cannot effectively manage as an investment and tax-efficient asset.
Dedicated to the Community
The founding commitment of the Sisters of Providence continues today --- namely providing for the needs of communities in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, including the poor and the vulnerable.
Partners in Providence includes donors who have made and disclosed preliminary information about their planned gift.
