Why CGAs May Be an Even Better Giving Option
Charitable gift annuities1 have been a longtime favorite among savvy supporters. With new gift annuity rates effective July 1, many donors may find increased benefits to themselves while supporting a cause close to their hearts.
Q. What is a CGA?
A. It's a contract with The Ramapo College Foundation in which:
- You agree to make an irrevocable donation to us.
- We, in turn, agree to make fixed payments to you each year for your lifetime. (You can have the payments benefit others, too, such as a loved one.)
- The portion of your gift that remains at your death helps support The Ramapo College Foundation.
A. It's a gift that:
- Enables you to meet your charitable goals.
- Provides you with tax-favored lifetime payments.
- Offers immediate income tax savings (when you itemize).
Q. What payments can I expect?
A. The rate of payment is determined by the ages of those receiving payments at the time of the contribution—the older the recipients, the higher the rate. Payment rates are locked in for the duration of the gift annuity.
