Gift Annuities

A charitable gift annuity is a simple agreement between you and a charity. In exchange for your irrevocable gift of cash or securities, you receive a fixed income for life.

With a deferred gift annuity, the gift is made at a younger age, and annuity payments are deferred until a later date and time, typically one’s retirement. The rate is determined by your age when the payments will begin.
