With a charitable gift annuity you agree to make a gift to the USF Foundation, Inc. and we, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year for the rest of your life. The balance is used to support our work.
This type of donation can provide you with regular payments for life and allow the USF Foundation, Inc. to further our mission. You can also qualify for a variety of tax benefits depending on how you fund your gift.
If you fund your gift annuity with cash or appreciated property, you qualify for a federal income tax deduction if you itemize. In addition, you can minimize capital gains taxes when you fund your gift with appreciated property.
And now, you can fund your gift using your IRA assets. If you are 70½ and older, you can make a one-time election of up to $53,000 to fund a gift annuity. While your gift does not qualify for an income tax deduction, it does escape income tax liability on the transfer and count toward all or part of your required minimum distributions.
Your payments depend on your age at the time of the donation. If you are younger than 60, we recommend that you learn more about your options and download this FREE guide Deferred Gift Annuities: Plan Now, Benefit Later.
Mary, 70, wants to make a contribution to the USF Foundation, Inc. but she also wants to ensure that she has dependable income during her retirement years. She funds a $50,000 charitable gift annuity with appreciated stock that she originally purchased for $20,000.
Based on her age, she will receive a payment rate of 6.3%, which means that she will receive $3,150 each year for the remainder of her life. She is also eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction of $18,756* when she itemizes. Finally, she knows that after her lifetime, the remaining amount will be used to support our mission.
