Charitable Gift Annuity

Gifts that Pay

YOUR GIFT MATTERS

An Example of How it Works

Dennis, 66, and Mary, 65, want to make a contribution to the Fairmont Opera House but they also want to ensure that they have dependable income during their retirement years. They establish a $20,000 charitable gift annuity.

Based on their ages, they will receive a payment rate of 4.3 percent, which means that they will receive $860 each year for the remainder of their lives. They’re also eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction of $6,745* when they itemize. Finally, they know that after their lifetimes, the remaining amount will be used to support our mission.

1A charitable gift annuity involves a simple contract between you and the Fairmont Opera House where you agree to make a gift to the Fairmont Opera House and we, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year for the rest of your life.

*Based on annual payments and a 3.2 percent charitable midterm federal rate. Deductions and calculations will vary depending on your personal circumstances.
