You may find that a Charitable Gift Annuity will bring you the income you need and help the organization – Girl Scouts of Colorado -- that has been an important part of your life.
How can you benefit from a Charitable Gift Annuity?
How does a Charitable Gift Annuity work?
Charitable Gift Annuities guarantee a fixed annual payment to the donor or designees for life in exchange for the donor’s transfer of a certain amount of cash or securities to Girl Scouts of Colorado. The asset transfer provides an immediate income tax deduction and a part of the income may be tax free to the donor.
Am I too young for a Charitable Gift Annuity?
No, anyone can set up an annuity, receive the potential tax deduction for the asset transfer and increase the rate of return by deferring the annual income to a later age.
Will my taxes be reduced by a Charitable Gift Annuity?
Your potential capital gains taxes will be deferred; and your ordinary income taxes and potential estate taxes will be reduced.
How will my Charitable Gift Annuity benefit Girl Scouts of Colorado?
After your death, the remaining assets in your Charitable Gift Annuity will benefit the Girl Scouts of Colorado as part of its Endowment Fund. You can designate your legacy gift as unrestricted so that it supports all programs, or you can restrict your support to a specific program in consultation with Resource Development staff who will help you make the designation you prefer.
