Charitable Gift Annuities

Give Freedom. Receive Income for Life.
Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) are a popular way to ensure your own financial security, while also playing a personal role in protecting freedom and equality for future generations.
Benefits of Charitable Gift Annuities
You can receive these benefits in exchange for your charitable donation to the ACLU Foundation:
- Secure, fixed payments for life (with rates as high as 10.1%) to you and/or another beneficiary. Your rates will never change, regardless of the market, economy, or interest rates.
- You can lower your taxes by receiving a federal income tax charitable deduction in the year that you make the gift, if you itemize.
- You can save on capital gains tax if you use appreciated stocks or mutual fund shares to make your gift.
- You can give yourself peace of mind by providing payments to a spouse, family member, or loved one for their lifetime.
- You can choose when your payments begin, such as when you retire, to obtain a higher payment rate. For each year you defer payment the rate increases.
