The Good Samaritan Society


A key to Catholic Charities continued success in the Archdiocese of Washington will be the support of its friends through the Good Samaritan Society. The Society was established to recognize and honor donors who have generously provided, or plan to provide, gifts to Catholic Charities Foundation through bequests or other estate and planned gifts. Society members enjoy benefits, which include: an annual Society event, invitations to special events, and special newsletters and mailings. Most importantly, members have the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping ensure the future of Catholic Charities and their ability to help those in need. Join today!

How to Become a Member
Becoming a member of the Good Samaritan Society is quite simple. In fact, if you have named Catholic Charities Foundation in your will or have otherwise included the agency in your estate plans, you are a member. If you have not yet notified us of your bequest, please contact Gretchen Koch today to inform us of your decision and complete a confidential Member Acceptance Form. Acceptance is non-binding and creates no legal obligation to you or your estate.

For more information, please contact Gretchen Koch, Director of Planned Giving, at (202) 772-4374.
