Charitable Gift Annuity -- Current

A charitable gift annuity is a type of life income gift that pays a fixed dollar amount for life in exchange for an irrevocable gift to the DFNC to assist the School of Dentistry. The minimum initial contribution is $5,000. The amount of income is determined by the donor's age (one-life annuity) or the donor's age and the age of another beneficiary (two-life annuity). The maximum rate of return on an annuity is 9.2 percent, which represents the rate received if the income beneficiary is 80 years old or more.

A gift annuity qualifies for immediate income tax benefits. A portion of the gift is tax deductible as a charitable contribution, and a portion of the income received each year is tax-free. Furthermore, if a gift annuity is funded with long-term appreciated securities, the donor may also receive additional tax advantages. A portion of the capital gain on the appreciation is avoided. In addition, any reportable capital gain is spread over the donor's life expectancy rather than all in the same year.
