2. The Nature Conservancy pays you, or up to two annuitants, a lifetime annuity.
3. The principal passes to The Nature Conservancy after the lifetime of the income beneficiaries.

Benefits

• You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
• Your lifetime annuity is backed by a reserve and the full assets of The Nature Conservancy.
• Your annuity payments are treated as part ordinary income and part tax-free income. If the gift is funded with appreciated property, your annuity payments are also part capital gains income (15%).
• You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and The Nature Conservancy later.
