Ways To Give

Gifts With a Return

There are many ways to make a gift while receiving income from your gift for the remainder of your life:

• The Charitable Gift Annuity: In exchange for transferring assets of cash or appreciated property, we pay you a guaranteed, fixed sum of money each year for the rest of your life. As a source of additional income at retirement, you may want to consider a Deferred Charitable Annuity.
  
  
• Charitable Remainder Trust:
  Assets are transferred to a trust, and you, or the beneficiary you name, receive an annual income for life. Trusts can be established for life or a specified number of years. At the termination of the trust, the assets revert to the donor or his or her designated beneficiary.
  
  
• Pooled Income Funds: Similar to a mutual fund, your gift is pooled with other donations in one fund to maximize the investment potential. You or your designated beneficiary receive income for life from the fund based on its performance.
