Gift Annuity

A WGBH gift annuity is very appealing if you have investments in bank CDs, bonds, stocks, or other low-yield assets. Contributing these assets to WGBH can significantly increase your income.

A gift annuity is a simple contract whereby, in exchange for a gift of $10,000 or more, WGBH makes quarterly payments to you for the rest of your life. If you wish, a second person such as a spouse or a sibling, also can receive lifetime quarterly payments.

Typically, a gift annuity pays between 6 and 12%. You also receive an income tax charitable deduction for a portion of the gift. The exact amount of the deduction and the payments are based on your age and whether the payments are for one person or for two people.
