What's Right For Me?

Here are the gifts that we think might work for you and why we think they are a good match:

• Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity – in exchange for an irrevocable gift (suggested minimum $10,000) we will pay you and/or another beneficiary quarterly payments for the rest of your life, beginning at a future date of your choice. These payments are based on a fixed rate, which is determined by your age at the time of the gift. You can take an immediate charitable deduction for a portion of your gift and a portion of your quarterly income will be tax-free. When you are under 60, it is generally best to defer the start of the payments. Deferring the start of the payments raises the annuity rate and in turn the quarterly payment generated by your gift. Deferring the gift also increases the tax benefits of the gift. Click here for more information about deferred charitable gift annuities.
• Pooled Income Fund – when you make an irrevocable gift to our pooled income fund you and/or another beneficiary will receive quarterly payments for the rest of your life. These payments have a variable rate based on the performance of the market. You also receive an immediate charitable deduction for a portion of your gift.
