Benefits of a charitable gift annuity

  • Receive fixed payments to you or another annuitant you designate for life

  • Benefit from payments that may be partially tax-free
  • Further our mission to enhance the quality of education by advancing the College of the Desert.

How a charitable gift annuity works

A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to support the College of the Desert through its Foundation.

  1. You transfer cash or property to College of the Desert Foundation.
  2. In exchange, we promise to pay fixed payments to you for life. The payment can be quite high depending on your age, and a portion of each payment may even be tax-free.
  3. You will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
  4. You also receive satisfaction, knowing that you will be helping further our mission.

If you decide to fund your gift annuity with cash, a significant portion of the annuity payment will be tax-free. You may also make a gift of appreciated securities to fund a gift annuity and avoid a portion of the capital gains tax. Please contact us to inquire about other assets that you might be able to use to fund a charitable gift annuity.
