Looking for an IRA Substitute? A deferred gift annuity is an ideal way for donors under age 60 to supplement their retirement income and make a gift to Cedarville University. For a minimum investment of 55,000, you will receive: 1. An immediate charitable income tax deduction. 2. life-long income after retirement. 3. An excellent yield.(For example, a 40-year-old donor who makes a gift of $5,000 earns a pay-out rate of 26.4 percent at age 65.) 4. A reduction in capital gains taxes if the gift is made with appreciated securities. 5. Membership in a leadership club. The office of gift planning will send you a personalized financial analysis that shows how a deferred gift annuity can benefit both you and Cedarville University. Please contact Dave Bartlett or Kim Longo at 1-800-766-1115. You may also contact us at giftplanning@cedarville.edu .
