How a charitable gift annuity works
- Complete a short agreement with The Ohio University Foundation
- Transfer cash or publicly traded securities to The Ohio University Foundation.
- In exchange, we promise to pay fixed payments to you for life. The payout rate is based on your age, and a portion of your income may be tax-free.
- You will receive a charitable income tax deduction, and a partial bypass capital gain tax, for the gift portion of the annuity.
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.
