Charitable gift annuities – a win-win!

Charitable gift annuity rates increased again in 2024, making the payout rates the highest they have been in 16 years. A charitable gift annuity allows donors to: 

 

  • Make a gift to the University of Minnesota while receiving fixed income for life
  • Receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction for a portion of the gift
  • Provide some tax-free income
  • Save on capital gains tax if appreciated securities are used to fund the gift.
