Charitable Gift Annuity payment rates increase!

Now more than ever, a gift annuity might be right for you. A Charitable Gift Annuity has always been a joy-filled way to support our vibrant community at Garden Spot Village and to make a tax-smart gift that provides you guaranteed payments for life—even during challenging economic times. Annuity income rates increased—again —beginning January 1, 2023, offering payments between 5.4 and 9.7% depending on your age. If your passion is to give more generously, but want to preserve and protect much-needed income too, establishing a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) might be a beneficial path for you.

Establishing a Charitable Gift Annuity can be a smart and meaningful way to increase your philanthropic commitment to Garden Spot Village. If you would like to receive a no-obligation, confidential illustration with your personalized rate, payment information and projected tax deduction, please reach out to Elyse Kauffman at elyse.kauffman@everence.com, or Wendy Nagle, Director of Development, at 717-355-6215.

Gift annuity payments to annuitants are backed by the assets of the issuing entity. Advisory services and securities may be offered through a third-party registered investment advisor or registered broker-dealer that is not affiliated with Everence Trust Company. Investments and other investment-related and/or securities products are not NCUA or otherwise federally insured, may involve loss of principal and have no credit union guarantee.
