Charitable Gift Annuities

A gift annuity is a gift of money or other marketable property in exchange for a fixed annual payment for the rest of one or two person's lives. At a specified date or the death of the annuitant (a recipient of payments), the remaining funds are distributed to the charity named as the beneficiary.

Some advantages of a Charitable Gift Annuity are as follows:

•  Charitable deduction for a portion of the amount given for the gift annuity.
•  Increased cash flow to beneficiary compared to investment returns.
•  Steady fixed payments that do not fluctuate with market changes.
•  Costs less to establish than a trust.
•  With a Deferred Gift Annuity, a current charitable deduction can be obtained while deferring income payments to a date in the future such as retirement.
•  Provides a future gift to your charity.
