How a deferred charitable gift annuity works

A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to support your favorite causes through the Foundation.

You transfer cash or property to Washington County Community Foundation.
In exchange, we promise to pay fixed payments to you for life at a future date or time you select. The payment can be quite high depending on your age, and a portion of each payment may even be tax-free.
You may benefit from an immediate charitable income tax deduction for the gift portion of the annuity.
You also experience the joy of giving, knowing that your gift will impact many generations to come.

If you don't know when you will retire or need the payments to begin, there are flexible payment options available.

Income Tax Rate

Select the current federal income tax rate of the donor. This will be used to project possible income tax savings. If you are uncertain about the correct rate, you may choose one of the middle rates. For many people, this will be close to their actual income tax rate.

Property Value $

Please enter a valid property value

Property value is required

Enter the amount of cash or the fair market value (FMV) of the asset(s) used to fund the CGA. For assets such as real estate, closely-held stock and other hard to value assets, the FMV is the appraised value of the property on the date of the gift.

Cost Basis $

Please enter a valid cost basis

Cost basis is required

Enter the cost basis of the asset being used to fund the trust or annuity. If the asset is cash, the cost basis is equal to the gift amount. If it is appreciated property, the cost basis will most likely be the amount you originally paid for the property. The cost basis is used to determine the capital gains tax which will be bypassed as a result of selling the asset. If the cost basis is not known or cannot be proven, the IRS assumes the cost basis to be $0. If cash funds the gift annuity, enter the same value as "Value of Property."

Payment Frequency

Select either monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual income payments to the beneficiary(ies) of the income. The choice of payment frequency does affect the amount of the charitable deduction as the more frequent the payment (i.e. monthly as opposed to annually), the smaller the donor's tax deduction.
