Charitable Gift Annuity

    With a charitable gift annuity, you can make a gift and receive guaranteed payments for life.

     

    How It Works

    • You transfer cash or securities. Our minimum gift requirement is $10,000.
    • You, yourself and a spouse, or any two beneficiaries you name, will receive fixed payments for life.
    • Beneficiaries are recommended to be at least 60 years of age at the time of the gift.
    • The remaining balance passes to Palo Alto Medical Foundation when the contract ends.
    • You can also create a life income gift through your IRA. Discover more here.

    Benefits

    • Receive more income for your money because of higher rates.
    • Receive dependable cash-flow for life, regardless of fluctuations in the market.
    • In many cases, receive payments at a rate higher than the interest you are currently receiving on investments.
    • Receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
    • A portion of your annuity payment will be tax-free for a number of years.
    • Are you a younger donor? Consider a deferred gift annuity.
