Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a great way to supplement your income, reduce taxes, and support BBBSA. If you are age 60 or older, you can provide yourself with high, fixed payments for life with a “charitable gift annuity.” You make a current, partially tax-deductible gift of cash or stock and receive payments for life, regardless of the market, economy, or interest rates, all while supporting BBBSA.
When you establish a gift annuity, your gift will provide:
- A charitable income tax deduction (for the present value of the charitable gift)
- Fixed lifetime payments to you and/or another individual based on the age(s) of the recipient(s)
- Capital gain tax savings when you use appreciated securities to fund your gift
- Support for the purpose you designate when payments end
