Ways to Give

Every gift supports the spread of the Fatima message and the work of the Confraternity. Choose whichever way suits you best.

BEFORE YOU GIVE

Seven ways to support this work

The Confraternity is supported entirely by the generosity of those who share its mission. Gifts fund the initiatives on our About page — catechism for young people, wayside chapels, free rosaries, support for Latin Mass seminarians — and the ongoing work of carrying the message of Fatima into new countries and new languages.

All seven ways to give are below. Contributions are 100% tax-deductible in the United States.

CHOOSING

Which way is right for you

If you want your giving to be steady, the Servant of Mary programme is the one to look at. Regular monthly support is what lets the Confraternity plan beyond the next few weeks — it is the difference between hoping a wayside chapel can be built and knowing it can.

If you would rather give once, online giving is the fastest route, and gifts by mail or by phone do exactly the same thing for anyone who would rather not give card details over the internet. Nothing is lost by choosing them.

If you are giving in someone’s name, Gifts in Memory lets you name them and add a message, so the gift is an offering made for a person rather than a transaction.

If you are thinking further ahead, a bequest or a gift of appreciated stock can often do more than the same money given directly — a stock transfer in particular can avoid capital-gains tax while still deducting the full value. Those two are worth a conversation with your own adviser first.

Organization and giving details

The Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima operates under the apostolate of MyCatholicCause.com, a recognised 501(c)(3) organization under the laws of the State of Ohio, United States. Every gift is acknowledged, and a receipt for tax purposes is issued for each contribution.
