Charitable Gift Annuities

Supporting Blessings of Hope through life-income gifts can be mutually rewarding.

Life income gifts help you provide meaningful support to Blessings of Hope while providing you with income for life (or a specified period of years) and leaving the remainder to Blessings of Hope for the purpose you choose.

There are several options for making a charitable gift that pays you income. One of the most popular (and one that does not require an attorney), is a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA). A CGA is a simple contract between you and Blessings of Hope. You can fund a CGA with cash, transfer appreciated stock that isn't paying a dividend or convert another underperforming asset like a savings account, money market fund or CD bearing little or no interest. You'll receive payments for life and a tax deduction for the year that you make the gift. Better yet, a portion of your payments are free of income tax throughout your life expectancy!

Immediate Gift Annuity

You can make your gift, take a deduction, and begin receiving annuity payments right away. This option is available for donors who are age 65 or
