A charitable gift annuity is a simple and easy way to support Iowa State University while doing something beneficial for you. It can provide a higher return than you might receive from a money market fund or CD. Also, a charitable gift annuity can give you the opportunity to make a larger gift than you may have thought possible.
 
Choices that are right for you
Here is how the charitable gift annuity works. In exchange for your gift of cash or securities, we agree to pay you a specified dollar amount for your lifetime.  Would you like to see what you payout rate might be? You can fill out a no obligation form by clicking here to get an estimate of the potential of your gift.  You might want to provide income for both you and your spouse under the same gift annuity.  Or perhaps you are caring for an elderly parent who can use additional tax-wise income.  That can be arranged, too!  Just contact us for the details.
 
Answers to your questions
1. Is the charitable gift annuity right for me, and does it fit in with my overall planning?
2. How does the charitable income tax deduction work?
3. What assets can be used to fund the annuity?
4. Can I create more than one gift annuity? If so, for whom?
5. Is it possible to defer the payments from a charitable gift annuity?
For answers to these questions and to learn more about how you can help yourself while supporting Iowa State University, click here to e-mail our gift planning office.  Or you can call us at 800-621-8515.
