Her CDs are paying her 2.5% interest. Instead of renewing a CD when it comes due, she decides to enter into a charitable gift annuity agreement which will pay her a higher rate of return for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In return for her irrevocable gift, she receives \u2013 <em>for the rest of her life<\/em> \u2013 an annuity payment of 7.6% annually. The payment rate is based upon the donor\u2019s age (and\/or age of other beneficiary) and is calculated through actuarial tables provided by the American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA). The rate remains the same, and will not decrease, during the lifetime of the beneficiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Age<\/strong>:<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>65<\/td><td>70<\/td><td>75<\/td><td>80<\/td><td>85<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Percentage Rate<\/strong>:<\/td><td>4.9%<\/td><td>5.4%<\/td><td>5.9%<\/td><td>6.6%<\/td><td>7.6%<\/td><td>8.7%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(This model reflects the suggested rates for a single individual from the American Council on Gift Annuities effective on January 1, 2023)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she enters into the gift annuity agreement, Mrs. Smith:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Increases her income with higher payments than the interest she was receiving from the CD;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receives annual annuity payments for the rest of her life, with part of those payments being free of tax; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receives a partial charitable income tax deduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The charitable gift deduction in part makes up for the corpus of the CD that will no longer have access to. If she had used appreciated stock (stock that shows a gain from the date of purchase) instead of CDs to fund the gift, Mrs. Smith also would have been able to bypass some of the capital gains taxes on the appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs. Smith has the option of including an adult relative (or other) as a second beneficiary to her gift annuity, who will receive the benefit after she dies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Mrs. Smith were younger and wished to defer her gift annuity payment until her retirement, she can defer her charitable gift annuity until a certain age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Mrs. Smith named the Division of Overseas Ministries or Wider Church Ministries as the residual beneficiary, at her death, the residual of the gift annuity will support Global Ministries vision that all of God&#8217;s people and creation share in God&#8217;s abundant life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charitable Gift Annuities are a unique gift opportunity to provide substantial support for the transformative work of Global Ministries while still providing for your own personal needs.
