How does a charitable gift annuity work?
A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to support Rhodes.
- You transfer cash or property to the college.
- In exchange, Rhodes promises to pay fixed payments to you (or another annuitant you designate) for life. The payment can be quite high depending on the annuitant's age, and a portion of each payment may even be tax-free.
- You will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
- You also receive satisfaction, knowing that you will be helping future Rhodes students to become essential in their lives and careers.
If you decide to fund your gift annuity with cash, a significant portion of the annuity payment will be tax-free. You may also make a gift of appreciated securities to fund a gift annuity and avoid a portion of the capital gains tax.
