Charitable Gift Annuities 

Minimum Amount Required: $25,000 

Supporting Compassion means opening the door for children to grow, play and learn how much Jesus loves them. A charitable gift annuity is a unique way to receive income during your lifetime while also helping children escape poverty. 

With a charitable gift annuity, you use cash or marketable securities to make an irrevocable donation. In return, Compassion will make fixed payments to you for life. Even after your lifetime, the remaining amount supports Compassion’s efforts in releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name. 

Benefits of Charitable Gift Annuities 

Through a charitable gift annuity, you receive fixed payments for your lifetime or the lifetimes of you and another person. You’ll receive tax-favored payments you can’t outlive, and a portion of your payments is income tax-free for your estimated life expectancy. 

If you haven’t retired yet, you can choose a deferred charitable gift annuity. This means you can defer payments and receive a larger income tax charitable deduction immediately.
