An NRDC Charitable Gift Annuity can provide you with payments for life, while helping NRDC build a safer, healthier planet for generations to come. A charitable gift annuity is a gift that is governed by a contractual agreement between the donor and NRDC. Upon the death of the beneficiaries, what remains of the original gift principal is available to NRDC to further its work for the environment.
Beneficiaries age 60 or older are eligible to receive immediate income from an NRDC Charitable Gift Annuity. For those younger than 60, NRDC's Deferred-Payment Charitable Gift Annuity may be a suitable option.
With a minimum gift of $10,000 of cash or securities, you can fund a Charitable Gift Annuity that will help protect the environment forever, while providing you or your loved ones with fixed payments for life. Valuable benefits of this gift plan include:
- Guaranteed, fixed payments for life;
- Capital gains tax savings on gifts of appreciated securities;
- An immediate charitable tax deduction;
- An opportunity to make an important legacy to NRDC's critical environmental programs.
NRDC's Deferred-Payment Charitable Gift Annuity
In a Deferred-Payment Charitable Gift Annuity, you make the gift now (the minimum gift amount is $10,000), realize an immediate charitable deduction, but defer receiving income until a later time. The deferral increases the gift value to NRDC and the rate of return to you or your beneficiary(ies). In addition, because of the deferral of income, the IRS rewards you, as the donor, with an increased charitable deduction for use the year the donation is made. The deferral of income must be until at least age 60.
