Gift Annuities

You can make a donation of cash or securities in the form of a gift annuity and, in return, be paid a lifetime annuity based on your age and the amount of your contribution. Messiah College requires a minimum $5,000 contribution to create a charitable gift annuity.

You may choose from two types of charitable gift annuities - immediate and deferred.  With a deferred gift annuity, the payments commence more than one year after the annuity is established.

Benefits:

• receive a lifetime annuity
• get a current charitable income tax deduction equal to thecharitable remainder value of the annuity
• supplement retirement savings
