Income for Today, a Legacy for Tomorrow
A charitable gift annuity with The Nature Conservancy is a gift that gives back. It can provide you and/or another beneficiary with stable income for life. You may also receive an immediate income tax deduction.
How It Works
- You irrevocably donate $10,000 or more in cash, securities or other property to TNC.
- You and/or your beneficiary receive fixed annual payments for life at a very attractive rate based on the age of the beneficiaries (as high as 8.9 percent).
- You can begin receiving payments immediately (if you are 50 or older) or defer payments for a year or more.
- You are eligible for an immediate tax deduction. If you donated appreciated assets, you may save on capital gains taxes as well.
- The principal passes to TNC after the lifetime of the income beneficiaries.
How You Benefit
- You receive payments for the rest of your life.
- You may save on taxes.
- You can help meet the long-term financial needs of a loved one.
- You enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that your gift will help TNC protect nature, transform how we use natural resources, and inspire action for the planet.
