"As an educator, I was inspired by the work of Planned Parenthood after hearing a speech in 1957 by a leader of the organization. Providing our youth with real and accurate sex education is a critical component of Planned Parenthood's mission. "As a businessman, I established a Charitable Gift Annuity with Planned Parenthood because it's a smart move. At my age, my annuity provides me with an 8.6 percent fixed payment rate. My rate will never change, and the payments are guaranteed for life. "If you want to have more cash now, to spend as you desire, while supporting a great cause, a Charitable Gift Annuity is a win-win project." — R.T.

Are you interested in making a meaningful contribution to Planned Parenthood today, supporting future generations tomorrow, while receiving fixed income for life, an immediate charitable tax deduction, and reduced capital gains tax? Then a charitable gift annuity may meet your objectives.

A charitable gift annuity is a special giving arrangement in which, in return for a gift of $10,000 or more (or $20,000 for two annuitants), Planned Parenthood provides guaranteed, fixed payments to you and/or another person for the rest of your lives. The rate of your payments is based on your age when the gift is made and will not change. A portion of your annuity payments may be tax-free, depending on the specifics of the gift. A charitable gift annuity also entitles you to partial income tax charitable deduction and may provide capital gains and estate tax benefits. After your lifetime, the remainder of your gift will support the work of Planned Parenthood Federation of America or a designated Planned Parenthood affiliate.
