A Free Catholic Will & the Power of Legacy Giving – Belle Marasco | The Catholic Morning Show – 07/29/2026

About This Conversation Before joining Iowa Catholic Radio's staff, Belle Marasco was a single mom of five who relied on the station to stay connected to her faith. Today, as Director of Business Development, she helps other listeners understand how their support keeps the mission going — and she joins Bo Bonner to talk through the many ways to give, with a special focus on legacy giving. What Is Legacy Giving? Legacy giving means including Iowa Catholic Radio in a will or estate plan — whether that's a percentage of an estate, a specific dollar amount, or another planned gift. It's not just for wealthy families, Marasco says: any gift, of any size, helps ensure future generations continue to hear the Gospel through Iowa Catholic Radio. Listeners who want to formalize their intentions can complete a confidential letter of intent by emailing [email protected]. A Free Will, Courtesy of Iowa Catholic Radio As a thank-you to supporters — especially during the upcoming fall fundraiser — Iowa Catholic Radio has partnered with My Catholic Will to offer a free, legally valid online will (typically an $180 service). Most people can complete the process in about 15–20 minutes, with the option — not the requirement — to remember Iowa Catholic Radio or another Catholic ministry in the plan. Other Ways to Give Become a monthly donor (any amount helps) Make a one-time gift Support the spring or fall fundraiser Volunteer time, talent, and prayer Learn more at IowaCatholicRadio.com. #CatholicGiving #LegacyGiving #CatholicWill #IowaCatholicRadio #CatholicStewardship #EstatePlanning #CatholicPodcast #PlannedGiving Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm.
