Back

A charitable gift annuity is for you if ...

You want to make a significant gift to us and receive lifetime payments in return.
You want to maximize the payments you receive from your planned gift -- and you want to lower your income tax on those payments.
You want the security of payment amounts that won't fluctuate during your lifetime.
You also appreciate the safety of your payments being a general financial obligation of the institution.
