Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity (CGA) can provide lifetime income and potential tax savings, while you make a lasting impact.
A charitable gift annuity (CGA) lets you make an irrevocable gift of cash, securities, or other assets to the MUSC Foundation in exchange for fixed payments for life.
Gift annuities are recommended for donors age 65 or older and gifts of $25,000 or more. The payment amount and tax benefit is based in part on the age and circumstances of the person receiving the payments.
Not 65 or older? Contact us to see if you’re eligible for a deferred gift annuity.
