Highlight on Giving

A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to your favorite charity and still receive an income for yourself or others. It is a contract under which a charity, in return for a transfer of cash or other property, agrees to pay a fixed sum of money for a period measured by one or two lives. The person who contributes an asset for the annuity is called the “donor,” and the person who receives payments is called the “annuitant” or “beneficiary.” Usually the annuitant is also the donor, but this is not always true. The maximum number of annuitants per gift is two, and payments can be made to them jointly or successively. Today, gift annuities include valuable tax benefits for donors.
