What is a gift annuity agreement? A gift annuity agreement is a lifelong contract, not a trust, between a single nonprofit organization and an individual or couple, who are referred to as annuitant(s). The terms of this agreement will lock in the rate, amount and timing of all payments the annuitant(s) receive.
Payments can be deferred, allowing for a larger charitable deduction and greater annuity benefits. Gift Annuities provide substantial tax advantages. You receive a tax deduction the year your gift is made, and a portion of your annuity payments are nontaxable. However, because Annuities cannot be legally changed, great care should be taken to ensure that you have other resources to meet any future emergency needs.
