Legacy Circle

Nearly one hundred years ago, Grace Cathedral was born as the result of a magnificent legacy gift. A donation of property from the Crocker family in early 1907 allowed the Cathedral to be constructed after the fires of the 1906 earthquake destroyed the original Grace Church.

As we anticipate the Centennial of Grace Cathedral, it is time to assure that our great Cathedral has an endowment to sustain it through the challenges and opportunities of a new century. One of the ways to grow an endowment is with gifts that come through estate planning. These gifts are important because of their permanence – they continue giving in perpetuity. The interest provides income for current programs and needs, while at the same time the principal grows to keep pace with inflation.

We invite you to become a Member of the Grace Cathedral Legacy Circle. Designating the Cathedral in your will, or as one of the beneficiaries of a retirement plan or through any other estate planning vehicle, will include you in the Legacy Circle. And as an added bonus, there can be significant tax and income benefits for you and your heirs. All you have to do is let us know in writing that you have done so. As a member of this esteemed circle of supporters, you join others in proclaiming your commitment to the life and mission of Grace Cathedral.
