Consider a Charitable Gift Annuity
Imagine a gift that can provide lifetime income for you and your spouse/partner, a charitable deduction and support for the Fund for Ministerial Assistance.
A Charitable Gift Annuity provides lifetime income for one or two persons, numerous tax advantages and creates a legacy that will sustain and expand programs for all UCC clergy and lay employees through the Fund for Ministerial Assistance.
Charitable Gift Annuities are managed by United Church Funds. The Charitable Gift Annuity benefits include:
Income for life with a payout rate often higher than CDs and other fixed-income investments;
Stability and safety from market downturns;
A charitable income tax deduction, partially tax-free income and possible tax savings if appreciated stock funds the Charitable Gift Annuity;
Knowledge that you are supporting the mission of the United Church Board for Ministerial Assistance in the future.
