  • You may be looking for a way to make a big difference to help further the seminary’s mission. A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows supporters 70½ years old or older to transfer up to $108,000 annually to eligible charities tax-free. By donating gifts from your IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution, you can satisfy your required minimum distribution without increasing your taxable income.

    Starting at age 73, IRA owners must take a required minimum distribution (RMD). While this RMD may increase the account holder's taxable income, IRA owners can satisfy their RMD through a QCD (also referred to as an IRA distribution) directly to Kenrick-Glennon Seminary. A gift through your IRA QCD may reduce your federal taxable income and potentially provide other benefits.

    The seminary does not provide tax, legal or accounting advice. You should always consult a tax professional to determine your particular tax benefits.

Designated Funds

  • Unrestricted support of our mission of formation and education.

  • The Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Endowment (RGG) helps support Kenrick-Glennon Seminary to ensure the quality of priestly formation.

  • The Holy Family Fund addresses both immediate and long-term needs. Each year, the seminary receives a 5-10% distribution from the Fund based on the rolling average of the market value from the prior 12 quarters. The continual generosity of donors will sustain this fund for the long-term benefit of the seminary.

    The “Holy Family Fund” represents the important and beautiful relationship between the priesthood and family life. The seed of Jesus’ own priestly vocation was nurtured in the context of the Holy Family. We want to encourage all families to be the seedbed of vocations, where young men and women are taught to listen to and respond to God’s call.
