Help the Village and Yourself
-by Michele Crew
Would You Like To Help Carroll Lutheran Village And Earn More Income For Yourself?
A Charitable Gift Annuity just might be your answer! Based on your recent birthday, a Charitable Gift Annuity could make it possible for you to do both of these things.
Some of the benefits you will derive are:
Fixed Income - The interest rate is based on your age and guaranteed for life of the beneficiaries,
Tax Savings - you receive a charitable deduction at the time of the gift,
Tax-Free Income - part of your income is tax free for your anticipated life span,
Guaranteed Income - income is guaranteed by the ELCA Foundation,
Higher Income – today, CDs and many fixed investments do not pay as much as a charitable gift annuity.
Peace of Mind - you can be assured that your income will continue as long as you live.
Professional Management - The ELCA Foundation, with years of experience, manages the gift annuity program from individuals and organizations all over the United States,
Charitable Impact - You have the satisfaction of knowing your legacy gift will benefit the Ministry of Caring Endowment and the many residents who rely on the Village for their care.
Charitable Gift Annuities provide a guaranteed income to one or two people. The interest rate is fixed for life; the income from the annuity will never go down, nor will it go up.
Before you decide NOT to take out a Charitable Gift Annuity, please call Michele Crew 443-605-1004 for a further explanation on how a gift annuity works and how an annuity may benefit you.
