If you would like to make a donation to Hindu Heritage Endowment and are interested in supplementing your income during retirement, consider a charitable gift annuity.
Q. What is a charitable gift annuity?
A. It’s a contract with Hindu Heritage Endowment in which:
• You agree to make an irrevocable donation to Hindu Heritage Endowment.
• Hindu Heritage Endowment agrees to make fixed payments to you each year for your lifetime. (You can have the payments benefit others, too, such as your spouse.)
• The portion of your gift that remains at your death helps support our mission.
Q. What are the benefits?
A. It’s a gift that:
• Enables you to meet your charitable goals.
• Provides you with tax-favored lifetime payments.
• Offers immediate income tax savings (when you itemize).
If you are retired and depend on stock dividends for income, consider funding a gift annuity with those stocks. That way, you’ll still receive income from the assets—in many cases, in higher amounts.
Q. What payments can I expect?
A. The rate of payment is determined by the ages of those receiving payments at the time of the contribution – the older the recipients, the higher the rate. Payment rates are locked in for the duration of the gift annuity.
