Porto Charities' Legacy Society recognizes donors who support the future of Porto Charities with a gift in their will or estate plan. A planned gift as part of your will/estate planning will help secure the mission of increasing access to Catholic education and meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for generations to come.

Join the Porto Charities Legacy Society

  • Retain control of your assets during your lifetime and direct how your assets will be used at your passing

  • Have the satisfaction of knowing that your gift will help Porto Charities continue serving future generations

  • Take advantage of potential tax benefits

  • Make your gift in honor of someone special

Your Legacy Gift to Porto Charities helps fund:

  • Porto’s Center for Learning and Leadership, to ensure that families with special needs children have access to the Catholic education and faith formation they need and deserve.

  • PortoWorks, to provide opportunities for jobseekers with intellectual disabilities to engage in meaningful work and build pathways to independence.

  • Long-term organizational stability, to secure Porto’s mission of building a culture of true belonging for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Diocese of Arlington

How to:

  • Draft Your Will or Trust. If you don't yet have a will, visit MyCatholicWill.com to learn more about standard legal estate planning that ensures that your assets are distributed according to your values, your healthcare wishes align with Church teachings, and your final arrangements reflect your faith.
