Is This Gift Right for You?

A charitable gift annuity works for Bowie State University supporters who would like to make a gift and receive steady payments in return.

Fast Fact
You Need a Will.

When you arrange a charitable gift annuity, you're allowed an income tax charitable deduction in the year you set up the gift annuity when you itemize on your taxes. The size of your deduction depends on the amount we’re expected to receive some day in the future.
