Charitable Gift Annuity
A donor makes a gift in cash or publicly traded
securities and in return receives regular
payments for life that never change in size or
frequency, regardless of changes in the
economy.
The Rotary Foundation Permanent Fund – Leaving a Legacy … To Secure Tomorrow
Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity
Just like Charitable Gift Annuities, but:
 Payments are postponed for a specified period
of time, which is at least one year after the date
of the gift.
 Size of payment depends on the amount
transferred, income beneficiary’s age, and the
length of deferral.
The Rotary Foundation Permanent Fund – Leaving a Legacy … To Secure Tomorrow
Charitable Remainder Trust
A trust into which a donor irrevocably places assets in
exchange for an income, either for life or a term of
years.
 The trust will pay income at an agreed upon rate
minimally 5% of the initial principal.


Two types of Charitable Remainder Trusts:
– Unitrust – Income fluctuates annually with the fair market
value of the trust.
– Annuity trust – Income payments are fixed and determined
when the gift is made.
