What is a Charitable Gift Annuity?

If you are not familiar with the term, “charitable gift annuity,” it falls under the classification of planned giving. It involves a contract between you and Children’s HopeChest. With a gift annuity, you will transfer cash or property to HopeChest in exchange for a partial tax deduction and a lifetime stream of annual income from Children’s HopeChest.

Why make a gift annuity?

You can secure your financial stability while also contributing to Children’s HopeChest in a meaningful way through a charitable gift annuity. Annuities are primarily appealing if you would like to receive income from assets that have gained value, like stocks. The gift annuity will provide supplemental income payments for your lifetime and the lifetime of your spouse. You will receive significant tax breaks at the time of your gift and every year after. Finally, you will be leaving a life-changing legacy with Children’s HopeChest.
