Charitable Gift Annuities

Simple, stable, and secure, a charitable gift annuity strengthens both Yale’s future and your own. This is a wonderful way to support the university, save on taxes, and provide financial security for yourself or those closest to you.

What is a Charitable Gift Annuity?

In exchange for a gift of $10,000 or more, Yale will make guaranteed, fixed payments for life to you or your selected beneficiaries. You can claim a portion of your gift as a tax deduction. When the annuity ends, Yale will use the remainder for a purpose you choose. Whether you choose an Immediate or Deferred Gift Annuity, Yale’s secure rates will let you make the most of your gift.

Immediate Gift Annuities

Of all the gifts that pay you back, the charitable gift annuity is the simplest, most affordable, and most popular. You make a gift to Yale and in return, we agree to make fixed payments to you for life. With an immediate gift annuity, Yale will begin paying you right away. Payment rates vary according to your age.

Deferred Gift Annuities

Deferring your payments gives you a higher annuity rate and generates a larger charitable tax deduction. The longer you defer, the higher your payments will be.
