Support Malden Catholic High School with a Charitable Gift Annuity

Charitable gift annuities

Supporting MC through life-income gifts can be mutually rewarding.

Life income gifts help you provide meaningful support to MC while providing you with income for life (or a specified period of years) and leaving the remainder to MC for the purpose you choose.

There are several options for making a charitable gift that pays you income. One of the most popular (and one that does not require an attorney), is a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA). A CGA is a simple contract between you and a MC affiliated foundation. You can fund a CGA with cash, or transfer appreciated stock. You'll receive payments for life and a tax deduction for the year that you make the gift.

There’s a CGA option for everyone. If you’re still working, you can fund an annuity today and schedule to receive payments when you plan to retire. If you’re nearing retirement or already retired, you have the option of deferring your payments a bit longer or receiving them right away.

Immediate gift annuity

You can make your gift, take a deduction, and begin receiving annuity payments right away. This option is available for beneficiaries who are age 60 or older.

Deferred gift annuity

Take an immediate deduction and defer payments for retirement. This option is usually advantageous for younger beneficiaries. Deferment allows for larger and less taxed payments.

Flexible gift annuity

This is like a deferred gift annuity, with a donor-directed the option to delay the start date of payments within a specified term of years. The longer the beneficiary waits to receive payments, the higher the payout rate and the larger income payments will be.

IRA > CGA Option

CAA 2023 allows for a one-time distribution to create a life-income gift, most commonly a charitable gift annuity (CGA), and charitable remainder unitrusts (CRT) or annuity trusts. This new type of QCD is a one-time maximum transfer of $53,000 to a qualified CRT, or in exchange with a charity for a CGA. *Important terms and conditions apply.
