Charitable Gift Annuity

The CHARITABLE Gift Annuity

A Popular Way to Support Catholic Ministries while Increasing Your Income

With its recent introduction, the charitable gift annuity is taking its place as an extremely attractive tool for supporting Catholic ministries, parishes and schools in the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana while doing something smart for your retirement planning. A gift annuity today can provide you with a higher return than some fixed commercial vehicles such as money market funds or CDs. A charitable gift annuity can also give you the opportunity to make a larger gift than you thought possible – without exposing you to unnecessary financial risk.

Put a CFNI Gift Annuity to Work for You

Here is how the charitable gift annuity works. In exchange for your gift of cash or securities, The Catholic Foundation of Northcentral Indiana, Inc. agrees to pay a specified dollar amount to you each year for as long as you live.

The annuity payments are based on the age of the annuitant(s) at the time you make your gift. For example, assume that Angie Smith, age 75, creates a gift annuity with a $10,000 cash gift to the Foundation. Her interest rate is 7.1%, which means she receives a guaranteed, fixed annual payment of $710 for as long as she lives. Equally important, Angie designates the balance to be given to her parish, St. Joseph. This gift carries a federal income tax deduction in the year the gift is created!
