Charitable Gift Annuities

Getting Started: Charitable Gift Annuities
The concept of the charitable gift annuity in America dates back to 1843, when a merchant in Boston first donated a gift of money to the American Bible Society in exchange for a flow of income. Today, the concept includes valuable tax benefits for donors. But perhaps more valuable than the financial advantages is the satisfaction donors gain by helping to continue our mission and good works. More

Getting Started: The Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity
With a deferred gift annuity, the start of payments is delayed until a specific date, initially determined by the donor. In exchange for agreeing to defer your payments for a period of time, you will receive a higher interest rate, depending on your age and the length of the deferral period. More

Invest in Our Future and Yours With a Charitable Gift Annuity
Establishing a charitable gift annuity is a safe way to produce secure, steady payments for yourself while providing significant benefits to us. More

The Charitable Gift Annuity: A Gift to Us That Returns the Favor to You

Act Now, Benefit Now
Can your gift that we will use years from now still be deductible on your tax return this year? If you make a gift through a charitable gift annuity, it can! More

Benefits Worth the Wait
Deferred charitable gift annuities allow you to defer payments until a time when you may need the payments more and when you may be in a lower income tax bracket. More
