Charitable Gift Annuities

You must be at least 60 years old to qualify for a CGA with the foundation, and payment rates are especially favorable for older individuals.  You receive significant tax benefits, including an immediate charitable tax deduction, and a portion of each income payment is considered a tax-free return of principal.  

A CGA can be created with an initial minimum gift of $10,000 if the remainder will benefit an existing foundation endowment.  An initial minimum gift of $20,000 can be used to create an annuity with the remainder designated to a new endowment fund.

A CGA with the foundation is a particularly useful tool if you wish to support charities that are not licensed to offer gift annuities in Wisconsin by the state Commissioner of Insurance.
