Charitable Gift Annuities When considering charitable gifts, most individuals think of outright gifts of cash or gifts through a Will or Living Trust. There are other ways as well to make a gift to promote the sanctity of life and retain benefits for yourself or a loved one. Gifting through a Charitable Gift Annuity can be made with cash or appreciated property. While there are several types of charitable gift annuities, such as singlelife, or joint and survivor, each pays a fixed amount. Payments may be received quarterly, semiannually, or annually. Your payment amount is established using rates suggested by the American Council on Gift Annuities. The remainder interest of the gift will be used by Vitae to promote a culture that values the lives of future generations. Payments on your gift annuity may begin immediately or be deferred to a later date, such as retirement. This may be a way to help promote the sanctity of life and provide additional cash flow for the retirement years. You will be entitled to a potential income tax deduction for part of the gift in the year you make your gift. Your taxable estate will be reduced, and any capital gains generally will be recognized over the life of your annuity. To learn more about meaningful gifts through gift annuities, contact Mark V.
