Charitable Gift Annuities

A charitable gift annuity is a form of planned giving in which you make a gift upfront and receive a secure, fixed payment annually for the rest of your (or your spouse or beneficiary's) life. When the contract ends, the remaining value of the annuity passes to Swim Across America. There are several different ways in which you can give through charitable gift annuities. Charitable Gift Annuity options include Immediate-Payment, Deferred-Payment, and Flexible-Payment. For more information on charitable gift annuities, please reach out to Rob Butcher.

Charitable Trust

A trust is a special type of “holding” device for assets. Basically, you can assign a certain amount of your assets to the charitable trust. The trust “holds” them and pays out the income for those assets—interest or dividends, for example, according to your instructions. Charitable trusts enable you to make a sizeable contribution to Swim Across America while receiving tax deductions and also retaining an income stream from the Trust.
