Life income gifts are excellent options for some donors, and we are happy to explain the details in terms you will understand.

• Charitable Gift Annuity. This option’s popularity is based on it paying a fixed annuity to the donor for the life of the income beneficiary, while part of each payment is tax exempt. It is established by completion of a simple form. Minimum of $10,000 donation.
• Deferred Payment Gift Annuity. Like the gift annuity, you receive a fixed amount, but the first payment is deferred for a year or more from the date of the gift and usually timed with retirement or other plans. So, you make a gift now and use the income tax deduction while in the higher tax bracket. Minimum of $10,000 donation. Additional Notes: This is a simple contract between you and Saint Francis that pays lifetime income (an annuity) to the donor from assets transferred to the organization. Stock often is used to fund an annuity. Appreciated securities held more than one year can be transferred to Saint Francis, resulting in no capital gains tax for the donor and a charitable deduction equal to the fair-market value of the securities.An annuity can provide lifetime income for the donor and also for a beneficiary designated by the donor. The annuity rate (which determines the amount of the yearly payment) is determined by the age of the donor at the time the gift is made. The older the donor, the higher the annuity rate and annual payment. Annuity payments also may be deferred, which provides higher rates that are based on the age of the donor at the time of the first annuity payment. This financial strategy is especially useful for donors who do not need immediate lifetime income. The transfer of the assets used to fund the deferred annuity provides current tax benefits to the donor.
• Charitable Remainder Unitrust. This option involves a separate trust that pays the income beneficiary a percentage of the trust’s net asset value each year. It is revalued annually, and an income tax deduction is allowed for the value of the remainder interest. Minimum of $100,000 to establish.
• Charitable Remainder Trust. Sometimes referred to as a CRT, this financial planning tool pays a fixed dollar amount to the donor for life. A charitable deduction is allowed for the value of the trust’s remainder interest. Minimum of $100,000 to establish.
• Gifts to Endowment (General or Restricted Endowments). When you support our endowment fund, you enhance the long-term financial strength of Saint Francis — Manchester.
• The Legacy Society. Become part of this esteemed Society by remembering Saint Francis in your estate planning.
