Helping You By Helping Others: An update on how you benefit even more! A few months back, I featured the benefits of a Charitable Gift Annuity. I wanted to revisit this topic this month because the American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA) has approved an increase of its suggested maximum payout rates for Charitable Gift Annuities. This increase is the first time since 2012 that the ACGA has decided to raise its payout rates. As of May 15, the rates will be rising by 30% to 50% for those ages where most annuity contracts are made. The rates will become effective on July 1, 2018. For those of you who may have missed that original article, let me explain again what a Charitable Gift Annuity is and how it can benefit you today. Then and Now A Charitable Gift Annuity is a contract between you and a charity with the following terms: As a donor, you make a gift Established in 1907, Taylor Community has some to charity using cash, securities or possibly other assets.

Starting in the second half of the year, you will be able to receive more income than you have had in the last six or so years. What more could you ask? It’s a veritable “win-win”! It is an excellent way for you to support Taylor Community while generating an income for life for yourself and your benefi- ciary. Now, let me ask. Who wouldn’t want that?
