How a Charitable Gift Annuity Works

A charitable gift annuity is an agreement between you and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

  1. You transfer cash, appreciated securities or real estate to us. In exchange we pay you or someone you choose fixed income for life.
  2. The fixed income is based on your age.
  3. A portion of your income stream may be tax-free and you will receive a charitable deduction for your gift.

Benefits of a Charitable Gift Annuity

  • Receive fixed income for one or two lives.
  • Potentially receive a portion of your income tax-free.
  • Receive a charitable income tax deduction for your gift.
  • Leave a future legacy to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Types of Assets You May Give

  • If you decide to fund your gift annuity with cash, a significant portion of the annuity income will be tax-free.
  • You may make a gift of your appreciated securities or real estate to fund a gift annuity and avoid a portion of the capital gains tax.

Receive Income Now or In the Future

You may transfer your property in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed income beginning as early as this year. You can also create a deferred payment gift annuity and receive payments at a designated future time, such as when you retire. Contact us about flexible date options for your future income.
