Financial Donations: Charitable Gift Annuity

A charitable gift annuity is a simple agreement between you and Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries. Many donors find the charitable gift annuity a good way to both make a gift to Goodwill and receive income for life.

With a charitable gift annuity, in exchange for your irrevocable gift (the minimum amount is $5,000), Goodwill will pay you or another person you choose an annual fixed income for life. This income is guaranteed for life.
The annuity rate is determined by the age of the person designated to receive the income (the annuitant) at the time the gift is made.

Benefits to Donors:

As a donor, you receive a fixed annual income for you and another person you choose for life. In addition, you receive:

  • Immediate federal income tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
  • Partially tax-free income, increasing your overall return.
  • Avoidance of a portion of the capital gains tax when you fund the annuity with long-term appreciated securities.

Annuity payments can be immediate or deferred. By deferring payments, both the annuity rate and income tax deduction increase because the projected present value of payments is less.

Most donors over the age of 75 will find the gift annuity attractive for its high guaranteed payments and simplicity. The contract is typically one page in length.

Goodwill’s minimum age for a charitable gift annuity is 60 years old. However, donors who are under 60 may establish a charitable gift annuity with deferred payments.
