Charitable Gift Annuities offer a higher rate of return than CDs or money markets

The Children’s Hospital Foundation’s charitable gift annuity offers a steady and stable investment opportunity for donors. Furthermore, your investment would fuel innovation, discovery and research that will lead to cures for childhood disease.

The concept of the charitable gift annuity in America dates back to 1843, when a Bostonian merchant donated money to the American Bible Society in exchange for a flow of income. Today, the concept includes valuable tax benefits for donors who also want to support mission-driven nonprofits like Children’s.

Charitable Gift Annuities: 

  • Give an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift
  • Guarantee payments for life, backed by a reserve and Children’s assets
  • Treat payments as part ordinary income, part capital gains income, and part tax-free income
  • Allow you to defer payments and collect higher interest rates, depending on your age and length of the deferment
  • Offer a better rate of return than CDs or money market funds. 

How it works
1. You transfer cash or securities to Children’s.
2. Children’s pays you, or up to two annuitants you name, fixed income for life.
3. The principal passes to Children’s after the death of the annuitant(s).
