OPTIONS FOR PLANNED GIVING - CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES
 
  There are many different ways to make a planned gift. While we are pleased to provide you with a general outline of gift planning options, we strongly recommend that donors who are considering a planned gift review their situation with their lawyer, accountant, financial planner or other professional advisor.

Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is an arrangement whereby the donor transfers a sum of money to a charity in exchange for fixed income payments guaranteed for the donor lifetime or for a pre-determined number of years. This method of donating is highly tax effective. A charitable tax receipt is issued for a portion of the donation and the donor receives the income payments tax free.
