Charitable Gift Annuities

For as little as $5,000, a charitable gift annuity is an excellent way to make a gift to UCP/NYC while providing you with additional income for life and an income tax benefit.

How a charitable gift annuity works:

You irrevocably transfer cash or appreciated securities to UCP/NYC in return for its promise to pay you, another or both, fixed and guaranteed payments for life.

Some of the characteristics of gift annuities are:

• You receive an income tax deduction for the charitable gift portion of the annuity.
• The older you are at the starting date of the annuity, the larger the annual payments.
• You can take out multiple gift annuities over a period of years.
• A portion of each annuity payment is tax-free until the investment in the contract is recovered. The tax-free amount is established at the annuity starting date.
• The annuity payments are backed by the assets of United Cerebral Palsy of New York City.

We would be pleased to discuss charitable gift annuity options with you and provide a preliminary annuity estimate for you based on your age and the size of your potential gift.
