After working for decades as a pediatrician in a small rural town, Patricia was ready to retire. Patricia: I bought some stock a number of years ago and overall, this was a good investment for me. However, I was uncertain about leaving my savings in the market where I knew it could go up or down. I was also looking for security for my retirement years. Ideally, I wanted to know that I would have the income I needed and that it would not change with the markets. Patricia talked to a friend who had found a good choice. Her friend had set up a gift annuity with her favorite charity. Patricia thought that perhaps a gift annuity would be helpful for her. Patricia: I called and asked about a gift annuity. I was very pleased to discover that I would receive a good payout based on my age. Plus, there would be a charitable tax deduction and part of the income would be tax free. I transferred my stock for a charitable gift annuity. I was delighted with the fixed payment I received. I avoided part of the capital gains tax and my CPA was pleased that my charitable deduction will save taxes this year. With my tax savings and increased income, I plan to spend more on my grandchildren this year! *Please note: The name and image above is representative of a typical donor and may or may not be an actual donor to our organization.
