Is A Charitable Gift Annuity Right for You?

Bernie Savarnsky

Bernie Savarnsky purchased his first charitable gift annuity in the '90s.

If you'd like to support Hospice & Community Care's mission and receive steady payments during your retirement years, a charitable gift annuity may be right for you.

Bernie Savarnsky purchased his first charitable gift annuity in the 1990s and now has more than a dozen gift annuities. Bernie, who turned 90 years old in September, continues to support the mission of Hospice & Community Care through charitable gift annuities. Hospice & Community Care joined the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society earlier this year to celebrate Bernie's 90th birthday and to thank him for his generous gifts to support charities important to him.

A charitable gift annuity may be right for you if:

  • You want to support Hospice & Community Care over the long term.
  • You desire stable payments that are unaffected by changes in the economy.
  • You are nearing retirement and would like to arrange for an extra steady stream of payments to supplement other retirement income, either now or later.

You are able to part with cash, stocks or other assets today while maintaining and possibly increasing income received from these assets.

  • You desire income tax relief this year.
