Requesting donations to Catholic Charities of New York as a way of honoring a passed loved one is a tremendous way of honoring their memory and bringing necessary help to those in need in the name of your loved one. You can make such donations through our donation portal, and selecting “Yes, this is an honor or memorial gift.” From there, you can enter the name of the person you wish to honor, and (if desired) the address of the family and any message you would like included. They will then be sent a tribute notification, telling them that a donation was made in memory of their loved one.
You can also contact us at (646) 794-2411 or cc.donations@catholiccharitiesny.org to set up a commemorative tribute.
