Gift Annuity Rates Are Highest in a Decade

It's a great time to consider the gift that pays you: a charitable gift annuity.

Payout rates are higher than they have been in more than a decade, making now a great time to consider this gift that benefits you and Disabled American Veterans.

This amazing gift provides you with stable, regular income—regardless of the economy. After your lifetime, the remaining amount becomes part of your legacy at DAV, allowing us to thrive far into the future.

How It Works

With a gift annuity, you make a donation using cash, marketable securities or other assets, and we, in turn, pay you a fixed amount for life. You’ll receive reliable, predictable payments for your lifetime (and the lifetime of a loved one, if you choose).

EXCITING OPTION FOR YOU! If you are 70½ or older, you can now make a one-time election for a qualified charitable distribution of up to $50,000 (without being taxed) from your IRA to fund a gift annuity. Some limitations apply, so contact a gift planning expert at (800) 216-9802 then press 1 or giftplanning@dav.org for more details and a personalized illustration at no obligation.

For Example

Barbara, 72, transfers $25,000 in exchange for a charitable gift annuity. She will receive annual payments of $1,550, a rate of 6.2%.

Additional Benefits

With this gift, you’ll also enjoy:

  • A partial income tax charitable deduction for your gift when you itemize.
  • Part of each payment being income tax-free throughout your estimated life expectancy.

Tip: Consider Giving Appreciated Assets

Funding a gift annuity with appreciated assets, such as securities, will not only provide you with reliable payments for life and allow you to support our work, but it can offer financial benefits. You will receive a federal income tax charitable deduction (when you itemize) in the year the gift is made and eliminate part of the capital gains tax you would have paid if selling the securities.
