Charitable Gift Annuities

If you’d like to support our mission and receive steady payments during your retirement years, a charitable gift annuity may be right for you.

How It Works

Through a simple contract, you agree to make a donation of cash, stocks or other assets to Branches, Inc. In return, you (and someone else, if you choose) receive a fixed amount each year for the rest of your lifetime.

In addition to providing a gift to Branches, Inc. and receiving fixed payments for life, you also receive these benefits:

• Your initial gift is partially income tax–deductible.
• Your charitable gift annuity payments are partially income tax–free throughout your estimated life expectancy.
• Your payments are not affected by ups and downs in the economy.
• The gift annuity can be for one or two people, so your spouse or another loved one can also receive payments for life.
• If you use appreciated stock to make a gift, you can usually eliminate capital gains tax on a portion of the gift and spread the rest of the gain over your life expectancy.
