Gift Annuities
The Gift that Pays You

Did you know that you can make a gift that will pay a lifelong income to you or someone you love? Gift annuities are a simple way to ensure an income that is guaranteed.

Here is how it works. You decide how much you would like to give to Westchester Community College Foundation (gift annuities start at $10,000) and decide one or two people who will receive regular payments for the rest of their lives.

Payout rates are based on the age of the person (or people) receiving payments. Once you have created an annuity, you lock in a rate that will never change.

You can choose to have the gift annuity payments go directly to a bank account, so there is no need to even deposit a check.

Gift annuity payments are a great way to supplement income for an aging parent. Of course, you can also choose to receive annuity payments yourself or with your spouse.

You can also get several tax benefits. You will get an immediate income tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity. And, if you use appreciated assets to create the annuity, you can reduce the capital gains taxes. A portion of the payments may even be tax free. As always, consult with your tax advisor for professional guidance.

We are glad to talk with you and give you specific information based on your situation. There is no obligation, and we will keep your conversation confidential. Call Linda Champanier at 914-606-6804 to find out more.
