Charitable Gift Annuity

Purchase a gift annuity of at least $10,000. Income is guaranteed based on your age at the time of the gift and you receive a current income tax deduction. Payments are made at least annually, partially tax free, through your life expectancy.

Charitable Remainder Trust

Managed by a trustee appointed by the donor. Income generated by the trust is paid to one or more beneficiaries specified by the donor (for example, the donor, a spouse, or children). Beneficiaries receive income for as long as they live or for a specified number of years, not to exceed twenty. After the lifetime of the beneficiaries, the assets pass to Developmental Enrichment Centers.
