Under the Charitable Gift Annuity, you give cash, marketable securities or other funds to the United Way of Lancaster County in return for regular payments to you for the rest of your life.
Payments can also continue for the life of a second person.
The amount in the payments you receive is fixed and guaranteed as long as you live. You receive an income tax charitable deduction when you create a Gift Annuity. Also, the payments you receive are partially tax free for a period of years. You are able to spread any capital gains tax due over your life expectancy.
