How a charitable gift annuity works
A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to support Outer Banks charitable causes.
- You transfer cash or property to Outer Banks Community Foundation.
- 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.
- You will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
- You also receive satisfaction knowing that you will be helping the Outer Banks through Community Foundation grants and scholarships for generations to come.
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.
