Charitable Annuities
The rates for charitable gift annuities—gifts that pay you income for life— are the highest they’ve been in years! You’ll receive more income when you give this type of gift, making this the perfect time to take advantage of this special opportunity. Plus, you’ll feel good knowing you’re making a significant impact on the future of quality senior care at Eskaton.
How it Works
With a charitable gift annuity, you make a donation using cash, marketable securities or other assets, and we, in turn, pay you a fixed amount for life. It’s a great way to supplement your retirement income and feel secure during retirement.
Additional Benefits
Beyond increasing your retirement income as you help shape Eskaton Foundation’s future, gift annuities offer you tax benefits, including:
• A partial income tax charitable deduction now for your gift when you itemize.
• Part of each payment is tax–free income throughout your estimated life expectancy.
Tip: Consider Giving Appreciated Assets Funding a gift annuity with appreciated assets can provide additional financial benefits. Call Kim Rhinehelder, VP of Communications and Philanthropy, at 916-334-0810 to learn more.
