Charitable Gift Annuity

With a charitable gift annuity, you can make a gift and receive guaranteed payments for life.

 

How It Works

  • You transfer cash or securities. If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a one-time, tax-free qualified charitable distribution of up to $53,000 from your IRA to fund a CGA.
  • Our minimum gift requirement is $5,000.
  • You, yourself and a spouse, or any two beneficiaries you name, will receive fixed payments for life.
  • Beneficiaries are recommended to be at least 65 years of age at the time of the gift.
  • The remaining balance passes to Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur when the contract ends.
  • You can also create a life income gift through your IRA. Discover more here.

Benefits

  • If you create a gift annuity using appreciated stock or mutual fund shares you may also save on capital gains taxes.
  • A portion of your annuity payment will be tax-free for a number of years.
  • Are you a younger donor? Consider a deferred gift annuity.
