Planned Giving

Join the Peter Claver Society

Named in honor of St. Peter Claver, S.J., the "Patron Saint of Slaves," the Peter Claver Society recognizes those who have included CTK in their estate plans. By creating a planned gift with us, you automatically become a member, honoring your lasting commitment to our mission and students.

Create a legacy for future CTK scholars by including us in your estate plans. A legacy gift not only benefits our students but also provides financial and tax advantages. Your support will help ensure the long-term success of both our scholars and our mission.

Planned Gift Options

Each planned gift option offers unique tax benefits. We recommend consulting a qualified financial, legal, or tax professional to select the best option for your goals. We are happy to work with you and your advisor to create a lasting legacy for future CTK scholars.

For more information or to share details about your planned gift, please contact Jeff Smart, Director of Advancement, at [email protected] or (773) 413-3513.

Bequest (read more)

A bequest – or leaving a specific percentage or amount of an estate in a will – is one of the most popular options for making a planned gift to Christ the King. Support of this kind can be made in the form of cash, securities, real estate or other personal property.
If you have already made a provision for Christ the King Jesuit College Prep in your will or estate plan and wish to be listed as a member of our Peter Claver Society, please email Jeff Smart at [email protected] or 773-413-3513.
