Deferred Gift Annuities
About This Gift
Just like a standard charitable gift annuity you can support our fight against heart diseases and stroke, secure your future finances, receive an immediate tax deduction, and receive fixed income payments for life. But, with a deferred gift annuity you start receiving fixed payments at a set date later in life. Delaying payments until a later date allows for you to benefit from higher rates of return that continue to increase the longer you defer them.
How It Works
- You transfer cash, securities, or other property to the association.
- Beginning on a specified date in the future, the association begins to pay you, or up to two annuitants fixed payments for life.
- The remaining funds pass to the association when the contract ends.
Benefits
- You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
- You can postpone your annuity payments until you need them, such as when you reach retirement or when a grandchild begins his or her college education.
- The longer you defer your payments, the higher the payout rate you will receive.
- You can have the satisfaction of making a gift now that benefits you and the association's mission.
