Higher Charitable Gift Annuity Rates!

Increase your retirement income and shape Arden Wood’s future with a charitable gift annuity. Good news: the gift annuity rates are now the highest they’ve been in years.

How It Works

With a charitable gift annuity, you make a donation using cash, marketable securities or other assets, and we, in turn, pay you a fixed amount for life. With this gift, you can boost your retirement income and feel secure because you receive reliable, predictable payments for as long as you live.

It’s a great time to contact John W. Mitchell at (415) 379-2200 or jmitchell@ardenwood.org for a personalized illustration at no obligation.

Additional Benefits

  • A partial income tax charitable deduction for your gift when you itemize.
  • Part of each payment is income tax-free throughout your estimated life expectancy.

Tip: Consider Giving Appreciated Assets

Funding a gift annuity with appreciated assets, such as securities, will not only provide you with reliable payments for life and allow you to support Arden Wood’s work, but it can offer financial benefits. You will receive a federal income tax charitable deduction (when you itemize) in the year the gift is made and eliminate part of the capital gains tax you would have paid if selling the securities.
