A creative way to help you meet your financial and charitable goals while also supporting the future of Christian Television Network.
When you make a charitable gift annuity, you can realize tax savings, secure your retirement by receiving reliable annual income, and support the future of Christian Television Network.
To set up a charitable gift annuity with CTN, you may donate cash, appreciated securities, or funds from your IRA*.
In return, you receive an income tax deduction and a steady stream of income for life for you or someone you designate. This way of giving will also help you save on capital gains taxes for gifts of appreciated securities.
Charitable Gift Annuities are a Worry-Free Way to Give
This secure way of giving won’t be impacted by a fluctuating stock market or an unpredictable economy.
When you establish a charitable gift annuity, you will receive a fixed monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual payments for life at an attractive payout rate.
You receive an immediate, partial charitable income tax deduction. And if you donate appreciated securities (stocks or mutual funds) to fund your gift annuity, you will enjoy capital gains tax savings as well.
Your annuity payment is based on the payout rate, the gift amount, and the timing of your gift. You may choose immediate payments, or you may defer payment for one or more years, resulting in larger payments and potentially a higher income tax deduction.
Additionally, a significant portion of your annuity payment is typically tax-free.
For gifts of cash or appreciated securities, you receive a partial income tax deduction and a lifetime stream of income for you or someone you designate. This way of giving will also help you save on capital gains taxes if funded with appreciated securities.
