Find Security in a Charitable Gift Annuity

If you are like many wondering about the economic road ahead, consider the security of a Charitable Gift Annuity. By creating a Gift Annuity, you do not only provide fixed income for yourself, but also benefit from a charitable tax deduction this year.

Deferred Gift Annuity
Several years ago Larry and Allison invested $30,000 in what they believed to be an attractive stock. It turned out to be a very wise decision, because the value of the stock increased to $100,000 a few years later. More on Deferred Gift Annuity >>.


Major IRA Gift
Tom is a retired CPA. With good investments, his IRA had grown to become over 80% of his total estate. Tom was looking for a way to rebalance his estate. He wanted to make a major gift to charity, but needed to protect his home and personal savings. More on Major IRA Gift >>.
