CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUNITY

A charitable gift annuity provides a guaranteed fixed income for the rest of the annuitant(s) life. The amount of the annuity (annual income) is determined by the amount of the gift and the age or life expectancy of the person(s) who is to receive the annual income.

Arrangements such as a charitable gift annuity can be quite complex. We strongly recommend that you speak with a board-certified estate planning attorney and potentially additional tax advisors when setting up this type of estate plan.
