Charitable gift annuities can help you do both!
With a charitable gift annuity, you can invest in SU’s future and enjoy these additional benefits:
>> Fixed payments for life
>> Exceptional rates ranging from 4 to 8.8%
>> Immediate charitable income tax deduction
>> Other significant tax benefits
Payments are based on your age (or the ages of you and your loved one) at the time of your gift. The remainder may be directed to the school or program of your choice. It’s an easy way to do well financially, and do good for SU students!
Here’s how it works.
Below are two examples of the benefits of creating a $25,000 charitable gift annuity.
For Mary, age 70...
|
|
Mary makes a cash gift of $25,000 to Syracuse University. |
|
|
Based on her age, she receives annual payments of $1,450 for the rest of her life (annuity rate of 5.8%); $1,090 of each payment is tax-free. |
|
|
She itemizes her deductions, and receives a charitable gift deduction of $7,659 (based on current IRS rates). |
|
|
After her lifetime, the remaining amount supports SU. |
For Jim and his wife, Susan, ages 72 and 71...
|
|
Jim and Susan make a cash gift of $25,000 to Syracuse University. |
|
|
Based on their ages, they receive annual payments of $1,350 for the rest of their lives (annuity rate of 5.4%); $1,012 of each payment is tax-free. |
|
|
If they itemize their deductions, they receive a charitable gift deduction of $5,446 (based on current IRS rates). |
|
|
With two annuitants, payments to the surviving spouse continue for life. |
|
|
After their lifetimes, the remaining amount supports SU. |
